Simulations that reproduce the spreading on the sea and the arrival of the oil to the coast. The function M at the background is represented at \(t_0\) equal to the corresponding date. (a) 1st release on the 25th January 2021 and satellite observation; (b) 2nd release on the 31st January 2021 and satellite observation; (c) evolution on the 12th February 2021 and satellite observations; (d) evolution on the 16th February 2021 and arrival to the coast; (e) evolution on the 17th February 2021 and arrival to the coast; (f) evolution on the 25th February 2021 and arrival to the coast. These masks indicate regions that correspond to the continental shelf. These figures have been created with Python 3.9.2 (https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-392/). The maps shown have been generated with a mask provided by OpenStreetMaps (https://osmdata.openstreetmap.de/data/land-polygons.html).
