Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What does the term “particle” refer to in this document?
Configuration
How do I choose the model timestep?
What is an appropriate value for the diffusion coefficient?
Why does the model tell me a release site is on land, when it doesn’t look like on the map?
Related: why do the particles “beach” a little bit away from (or on top of) the shoreline?
Why does the “model shoreline” not match another map’s shoreline?
NOAA WebGNOME Server
How can I change the display options – for example, to color the particles based on an oil property like viscosity?
How can I do a large scale simulation?
