Figure shows the first two days of drift period (~18-19 September 2007). Trajectories show the paths of the mean location of the simulated oil spills for each of the three drifters. Blue = MFS 16th degree ocean forcing. Red = Mercator 15th degree ocean forcing. Wind and wave forcing data are from ECMWF in both cases. Observed positions of the drifters are shown in black.
