Ohio River Oil Spill Model

Differences in oil storage in sediments between model simulation that include resuspension (simulation 3) and model simulation that does not include resuspension (simulation 2d). Negative values indicate a net decrease in oil in ml/m2 per pool when resuspension is included. Positive values indicate increases in oil as a result of adding resuspension to the model.

Length of time in which aquatic organisms are exposed to concentrations at or above 0.9 µl/l limit for each pool of the model, as determined by Simulation 2d.
