The large-scale oil spill caused by the wreck of the tanker Prestige off the Spanish coast in November 2002, and uncertainties on the fate of that pollution, illustrated the gaps in means of observations and knowledge of relevant processes. The idea of a coupled atmosphere-waves-ocean model was proposed by Klaus Hasselmann [Hasselmann, 1991], in the context of climate modeling.
