Follow up to postings on the Gulf Coast oil spill, this news release, via WSJ.com: “New supercomputer studies suggest it is “very likely” ocean currents will carry oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico around the tip of Florida and thousands of miles up the U.S. East Coast this summer, researchers announced Thursday…Researchers from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., and the Los Alamos laboratory used a $100 million computer model of the world’s ocean-circulation patterns to assess how currents could sweep the oil out of the Gulf. The simulations show a strong Loop Current almost inevitably will pull the oil into the powerful Gulf Stream. It would then travel up the Atlantic coast at a speed of about 100 miles a day.”
