The College of Marine Science - USF, Ocean Circulation Group maintains a coordinated program of coastal ocean observing and modeling for the West Florida Continental Shelf (WFS).They have recently released a series of animated models showing the movement of the Gulf Oil Spill driven by winds, surface currents, and submerged currents at numerous depths.
