1.1 This practice describes the features and processes that should be included in an oil-spill trajectory and fate model.

1.2 This practice applies only to oil-spill models and does not consider the broader need for models in other fields. This practice considers only computer-based models, and not physical modeling of oil-spill processes.

1.3 This practice is applicable to all types of oil in oceans, lakes, and rivers under a variety of environmental and geographical conditions.

1.4 This practice applies primarily to two-dimensional models. Consideration is given to three-dimensional models for complex flow regimes.
