1 Work Package 5 Strengthening common analysis and planning tools Leader: HCMR Leonidas Perivoliotis Institute of Oceanography, HCMR Rome, 3 rd st Steering committee meeting September 2012

2 PORTico- MedSlik MOTHY MedSlik II Poseidon OSM MedSlik An interconnected oil spill forecasting system for the whole Mediterranean

3 This work package is a critical component of the project, as it aims to design and implement the interconnection of the different systems of MEDESS-4MS service through the Network Data Repository (NDR). Connecting the standalone systems: The three already operational oil spill models (MEDSLICK, POSEIDON OSM and MOTHY) will be connected in order to form the multi model oil spill system of the MEDESS-4MS Coupling with a variety of environmental data: Coupling with a variety of environmental data: The MEDESS- 4MS oil spill service will be coupled with the environmental data from the MCS, the downloaded MS national ocean forecasting systems and the oil slick data from existing platforms (EMSA-CSN, REMPEC, MS VTMIS HF-radars and AIS data).

4 Building a robust data exchange system: Network Data Repository (NDR) Oil spill model results, data from MCS and the national ocean forecasting systems, oil spill data rom existing monitoring systems and relevant in-situ data will be hosted into an integrated warehousing facility. Catalogue and discovery services will also be developed to allow searching capabilities and unified access to all necessary data (standardization of metadata will be required). Evaluating the system s performance: Evaluating the system s performance: The designed and implemented solutions will be tested during the two Targeted Operational Periods, where the full functionality of the whole system will be thoroughly examined.

17 WP5.1 Results Oil Spill providers: Five providers (OC-UCY, HCMR, INGV, MF, PdE) Three models (MedSlik, Poseidon Osm, Mothy) All the MEDESS4MS oil spill models have already been used operationally for many years and their performance has been validated against real cases or in-situ experiments. In terms of capacity, all the operational oil spill models are reported to sustain state of the art capabilities (weathering and dispersion processes, beaching) while the majority of them (three out of five) also support backtracking capabilities. Four out of five oil spill providers have already implemented in their models the ECOOP common I/O format, which was a first effort for the oil spill model interconnection. Three out of five oil spill providers have already connected their systems with the EMSA CSN2 network, either operationally or on demand There are expected differences in the met-ocean forcing each model requires, but the roadmap towards the input homogenization will be decided in the next WP5 subtask WP5.2 Building common specifications.

18 WP5.1 Results Met-Ocean data providers: The overall assessment by the analysis of the WP5 partner replies is that the provision of the met-ocean data can be considered as adequate for the implementation of the MEDESS4MS multi-model oil spill forecasting system in the Mediterranean. Hydrodynamic data will be provided to the project by twelve different operational systems which are implemented in different geographical scales, ranging from basin to regional and to coastal scale. The provided resolution for all the regional and coastal models ranges between 1Km and 3.5 Km, while the basin scale output is available in 6.5Km resolution. These numbers indicate the availability of high resolution forecasting data in the Mediterranean which is expected to produce more realistic results of the oil spill forecasting. Atmospheric data will be available to the project by eight different operational systems. Five of them will provide data for the whole Mediterranean in a spatial resolution of 5 Km. This high resolution atmospheric data will enhance the reliability of the MEDESS4MS oil spill forecasting system. Six partners will provide forecasting waves data to the project, while for the whole Mediterranean the provision will be realized by three partners in a spatial resolution of 10Km and this input could not be considered as high resolution. However, the regional and coastal wave forecasting systems will provide data in higher resolution analysis (3Km).

19 WP5.1 Results HCMR has asked few months extension of WP5.1 lifetime, as the project s time schedule along with the new legislation implied by the Greek government to the public organizations regarding the hiring of personnel. However, an extended draft version of WP5.1 deliverable has been released through the private area of MEDESS4MS web site in order to sustain the proper implementation of the project.

20 WP5.2: Building common specifications Timeline: 01 Jul Jan During Barcelona meeting, WP5 partners discussed on the discrepancies and gaps that should be overcome in order the MEDESS4MS interconnected oil spill forecasting system to be built. Several issues were discussed and agreed between the partners regarding : Met-Ocean data provision Vertical resolution of HD data, temporal resolution, forecasting length, rolling archive of forecasting products, data archiving, bathymetric data, specification of need atmospheric and wave data, exchange data format Oil spill models Enhancement of common I/O format used in ECOOP (discussion continues), use of the REMPEC oil spill data base, harmonization of the different oil spill model capabilities. A detailed documentation was released to the partners and can be used as the basis for the building of common specifications

31 The way forward TOP1 is scheduled between M16-M21 (May13-Sep13) Oil spill models should be ready to use a common I/O format The common specifications for the data exchange should be specified and implemented Oil spill models should be able to read the necessary met-ocean information in the common agreed way Partners providing data should be ready to disseminate their data through a common standardized way (OpenDAP) During TOP1 the oil spill models (OSMs) will be centrally coordinated by the UI run but will rely on each partner s original environmental data. The connection of the oil spill models with all the available data will be developed/implemented after TOP1 and will be tested during TOP2.
