APERTRACK: A particle-tracking model to simulate radionuclide transport in the Arabian/Persian Gulf

A Lagrangian rapid-response model for simulating the transport of radionuclides in the Arabian (or Persian) Gulf is described. The model is based on a tide model including five constituents, which was solved in advance, and baroclinic circulation was obtained from HYCOM operational ocean model. The...
