As well, such predictions could help in choosing new ports and tanker routes so that damage from an oil spill would be minimal. The probable hour-by-hour movement of both real and hypothetical oil spills is shown on the computer's electronic screen, as it analyses a complex set of tidal, meteorological and oceanographic data. <17mn 17s>Language:EnglishOriginal number:106C 0175 555Notes:Detailed holdings information: -
