Description
ADIOS2 (Automated Data Inquiry for Oil Spills) is an oil weathering model that runs both on Macintosh computers and in Windows. ADIOS2 incorporates a database containing more than a thousand crude oils and refined products, and provides quick estimates of the expected characteristics and behavior of oil spilled into the marine environment. The predictions it makes, presented as both graphics and text, are designed to help answer questions that typically arise during spill response and cleanup.
