| The pan-European capacity for the Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting (MyOcean)
Marine Core Service, implementing the Global Monitoring for Environment and
Security (GMES) objectives, targets the provision of ocean state
observations from various platforms and analysis and forecasting products to
assist, among other downscaling activities, the needs of the operational
response to marine safety, particularly concerning oil spills. The MEDSLIK
oil spill and trajectory prediction system makes use of the MyOcean regional
and Cyprus Coastal Ocean Forecasting and Observing System (CYCOFOS)
downscaled forecasting products for operational application in the
Mediterranean and pre-operational use in the Black Sea. Advanced Synthetic
Aperture Radar (ASAR) satellite remote sensing images from the European Space
Agency (ESA) and European Maritime Safety Agency CleanSeaNet (EMSA-CSN)
provide the means for routine monitoring of the southern European seas for
the detection of illegal oil discharges. MEDSLIK offers various ways, to be
described in this paper, of coupling the MyOcean forecasting data with ASAR
images to provide both forecasts and hindcasts for such remotely observed
oil slicks. The main concern will be the drift of the oil slick and also, in
the case of the forecast mode, its diffusive spreading, although some
attempt is also made to estimate the changes in the state of the oil. The
successful link of the satellite-detected oil slicks with their operational
predictions using the MyOcean products contributes to the operational
response chain and the strengthening of maritime safety for accidental or
illegal spills, in implementation of the Mediterranean Decision Support System
for Marine Safety (MEDESS-4MS) regarding oil spills. |
