Abstract
This paper consists of two parts: in the first part GULFSLIK II a math ematical model that simulates. surface oil spill transport is tested u sing the drifting buoys data of the Mt Mitchell cruise. In the second part an empirical formula based on the drift factor approach to estima te surface oil spill transport due to wind is derived.
