  2. Questions (& answers) about: MEDESS-4MS • Whatisit? (a Project) • Why? (Needs) • Whatfor? (objectives) • Who? (partners) • How? (ServiceImplementation & demos) • Towhom? (end-users)

  3. Whatis MEDESS-4MS?, and why? • MEDESS-4MS:Project dedicated to the maritime risks prevention and to strength maritime safety related to oil spill pollution in the Mediterranean. • MEDESS-4MS = “MEDiterraneanDEcision Support System for Marine Safety” • MEDESS-4MS Project financed through EU Inter-RegMED Program • 3-yr long (ending 31/01/2015) Lloyds(1995-1999) Issue identified by UE as priority: In the Med high risks & need for state members to be ready to provide answer to incidents (even catastrophic ones). XX Nº ship accidents > 4 per yr

  4. Whatfor? Project Scoope • MEDESS-4MS will deliver an integrated operational multi model oil spill prediction service in the Mediterranean, • Based on well established oil spill modeling systems • Using and data from the Marine Core Service (MyOcean) and National and Regional Ocean Forecasting Systems. • Connected to existing monitoring platforms (EMSA CleanSeaNet, AIS)

  5. MEDESS-4MS: Who? • 21 Partners (7 Medcountries) • 68 Sci/Tech staff involved

  6. Some notes onthePartnership… • Met-Ocean information: • Provided by 7 Operational Oceanographic centers • Highly experienced (> 10-yr) • Some National Met Offices also involved • Oil Spill forecast capabilities: • 5 Partners (R&D centers & Univ.) provides individually oil spill predictions at local and sub-regional level • Strong links and close operational cooperation with National Response Agencies • i.e SASEMAR in Spain. • Some key end-users & institutions involved as part of the partnership • i.e. REMPEC, Italian Coast Guard, CEDRE, Harbour authorities (Bahia de Algeciras, Heraklio).

  7. MEDESS-4MS: How? Oceanographicanalyses and forecasts (GMES MCS and MOON) Meteorological analyses and forecast (ECMWF, National Met offices and MOON) Oil spill satellite monitoring system (SAR) and AIS OIL SPILL modelsfor FORECASTING WEB SERVICE interactive access to the multi-model servicescenarios End-User Links End-Users (Institutional/Operational ones)

  8. MEDESS-4MS Met-Ocean Data Repository Network Met-Ocean Forecast capacities: More than 20 Ocean Models running every day on the Med!! Shelf and sub-regional models now reach 1 - 3 km resolution

  9. MEDESS-4MS OilSpillMulti-ModelService • Institution: Responsible Area (& Oil spill System): • PdE: Western Med (PORTico-MEDSLIK-II) • MF: NorthWestern Med (MOTHY) • INGV: Central Med (MEDSLIK-II) • HCMR: Greece Area (POSEYDON) • OC-UCY: Levantain Basin (CYCOFOS-MEDSLIK)

  10. MEDESS-4MS OilSpillMulti-ModelService • Evaporation • Dispersion • Spreading • Emulsification • Beaching • All the MEDESS-4MS oil spill models will be: • fully 3D models capable to simulate the movement, spreading and aging of the oil particles in the 3-D space • Scientifically state of the art (all will include wind, currents and waves forcings providing backtracking capacities)

  11. MEDESS-4MS Data Repository Network • Noticeable efforts to make all components work together in a fully distributed way. • using most advanced standards for data retrieval, visualisation, processing and exchange. • Met-Ocean Data (MOD) Providers must: • Ensure data compatibility (format adaptation of inputs to MEDESS) • Build & maintain a Data Repository (THREDDS/OpenDap protocols) • Ensure connectivity to provide MEDESS-4MS Service • Oil-Spill Model (OSM) Providers must • Adapt their models to meet MEDESS-4MS functionalities • Ensure procedures to download/use data in MEDESS standard formats • Fully MEDESS-4MS compatibility: “any OS model, must be ready to be run with any MEDESS Ocean-Met input data anywhere in the Med”.

  13. UserInterface & ServiceScenarios • Integrated User Interface system with a unique Web point to access different MEDESS Service Scenarios. • MEDESS4MS will provide 3 services scenarios: • Real-Time oil spill forecasting for authorized users • 1 automatic forecast for any CSN oil-spill detection. • Delayed mode for authorized users (historical data available). • Oil Spill Decision Support System (for selection of management strategies)

  14. SeriousGames …. • Serious Games –SG-: Exercise to verify MEDESS Service functionalities and validate model capabilities • SGs have a strong monitoring component (in-situ measurements) • SGs useful to make scientific validation of models (OS & Met-Oce) • SGs useful to enhance links between MEDESS and response agencies (SASEMAR, Italian CoastGuard, CEDRE, REMPEC, etc…) I Regional MEDESS SG in Western Med (Sep-2013)

  15. SeriousGames …. • I General MEDESS SG. Italy (May-2014)

  16. Users… • A widespread user community: • Some key end-users already in the project (as partners): • REMPEC (Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response Centre for Mediterranean Sea) • Italian CoastGuard • CEDRE • AutoridadPortuaria de Bahia de Algeciras • Port of Heraklion • Maritime Safety Department of Montenegro • Some other already collaborating with MEDESS-4MS in a very strong way: • i.e.: SASEMAR, EMSA,… • Some MEDESS-4MS Training WorkShopsforeseen: • A General MEDESS-4MS Mediterranean WS (September-2014) • 5 Sub-Regional WSs focused on local users (October-2014). • WS for Spanish MEDESS-4MS users will be organized by PdE/Innovamar
