Oil Spill Simulation Ensemble of beached oil concentrations in the Mediterranean Coastline

Abstract

This dataset contains beached oil concentrations along the Mediterranean coastline, derived from an ensemble of oil spill simulations spaning 5 years (2018-2022) and using the MEDSLIK-II numerical model (https://www.medslik-ii.org/). The study modeled an operational oil spill scenario (22 API oil released at a rate of 0.17 tons/hour for 120 hours per spill ) featuring 203 release locations uniformly distributed between 10 and 50 km from the Mediterranean coast and activations every 5 days. For each individual point-source release, a beaching event is defined by the volume of oil that reaches a specific 150-meter coastal segment and remains fixed there until the end of the simulation. This value is expressed as a concentration in tons/km and recorded at the final simulation time step. The dataset includes a single coordinate called event, which serves as a unified index for all beaching events merged across the entire simulation ensemble. Consequently, the events are ordered sequentially: the first set of indices corresponds to Simulation 1, followed by the events from Simulation 2, and so on. All events are characterized by the following variables: release_lat: Latitude of the oil spill release location that originated the event. release_lon: Longitude of the oil spill release location that originated the event. release_date: Date of the oil spill release that originated the event. latitude: Latitude of the midpoint of the coastal segment where the beaching event occurred. longitude: Longitude of the midpoint of the coastal segment where the beaching event occurred. beached_conc: Oil concentration of the beaching event (expressed in tons/km). country: The country to which the coastal segment belongs. The analysis exclusively considered 18 Mediterranean countries: Albania, Algeria, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Libya, Malta, Montenegro, Morocco, Spain, Syria, Tunisia, and Türkiye. Coastal segments belonging to any other country are labeled as 'None'.
