MOHID Desktop Spill Simulator: Detailed User Manual Activity 4
Contents
1. 1 Introduction This manual aims to provide a full description about how to use the Mohid Desktop Oil Spill Simulator interface Mohid Desktop Spill Simulator is a fast oil and inert spill lagrangian simulator integrating offline metocean forecasts from several different institutions in the Atlantic Area for the regions or ARCOPOL partners This desktop client application allows end user to have control over model simulations Parameters such as date and time of the event location and oil spill volume are provided to the users this interactive tool integrate best available metocean forecasts waves meteorological hydrodynamics from different institutions in the Atlantic Area Metocean data are continuously gathered from remote THREDDS data servers using OPENDAP protocol or ftp sites and then automatically interpolated and pre processed to be available for the simulators This simulation tool can also import initial data and export results from to remote servers using OGC WFS services Simulations are provided to end user in a matter of seconds and thus can be very useful in emergency situations The backtracking modelling feature and the possibility of importing spill locations from remote servers with observed data per example from flight surveillance or remote sensing allow the potential application to the evaluation of possible contamination sources The numerical model used to simulate spill fate amp behaviour in this application i2.

A future version should include these features Beyond all of these limitations bugs or updates already mentioned other major developments are being considered The online database of products generated by IST task 4 3 4 http arcopol maretec org should be integrated with this software Since database is able to provide contents in structured format xml the incorporation with MOHID Desktop Spill Simulator wouldn t represent a big effort Also taking advantage of ARCOPOL deliverables in Activity 4 the proposed recommendations and guidelines of data exchange between observation and software that predicts the movement of the spill should be further implemented so that in the future this software can exchange more data input and output naturally with other programs either because it contains all necessary information or because it uses widely accepted standards this report was generated by INTECMAR entitled Monitoring Observations Predictions amp Communications A Practical Guide Although MOHID Desktop Spill Simulator is already importing and exporting data with other systems under OGC standards much more standardization can be done Following the philosophy mentioned above the possibility of import satellite detected oil slicks under EMSA s CleanSeaNet operational service and being able to run simulations forward and backwards should be achievable without much effort taking in account that CleanSeaNet d
