The Puget Sound Trajectory Analysis Planner (TAP) is a computer-based tool that investigates the probabilities that spilled oil will move and spread in particular ways within a particular area. TAP does this by assessing hundreds of site-specific spill trajectories. The Puget Sound TAP Technical Document describes the TAP methodology and trajectory modeling behind TAP, as well as the accuracy and limitations of TAP.
Ecology utilizes TAP to help understand risk to shorelines from oil spills. Understanding risk is an important component toward developing effective response plans. TAP has been utilized to help develop Geographic Response Plans and for natural resource damage assessment’s ephemeral data collection plans.
