• 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?
