02. Поведение морских разливов нефти

В настоящем документе описано совместное воздействие различных природных процессов на нефтяные разливы, известное под собирательным термином “выветривание”. Рассматриваются факторы, которые определяют вероятность сохранения нефти в морской среде, а также их значимость для операций по ликвидации разливов.
