Required Met-Ocean info during an oil spill accidentRequired Met-Ocean info during an oil spill accident
What sea conditions can I expect in the region in this time of the year? (wind, waves, sea level, currents…)
Which is the actual sea-state condition now and in the following days?
In which direction the oil is drifting?
Which are the sensible coastal areas?
How will the oil chemically evolve?
Which are the tools needed to answer?Which are the tools needed to answer?

ESEOO (Establecimiento Español de Un sistema de Oceanografía Operacional) was a three year project funded by the Spanish Science and Education Ministry.
Final meeting: January 2007
14 Spanish groups and 7 non-Spanish

Some ESEOO resultsSome ESEOO results
Development of a regional scale national oil spill and current forecasting system.
Set-up of high resolution numerical models and systems able to forecast currents and spill evolution at local scale.
Development of an data service able to quickly provide information based on analysed historical measurements.
Set-up of a unified access point to real-time oceanographic and meteorological data at Spanish coasts.

Galicia coastal waters - 2006
Drifting buoys were released to check the tools and developments
Oil spill and search and rescue operations were simulated
Two ships and one helicopter were employed for the release of the buoys

Conclusions:Conclusions:
Operationally oceanography tools are critical for the treatment of an oil spill crisis (measurements, forecast, statistical knowledge)
Specialized personnel is required for the evaluation, analysis and compilation of information
ESEOO project has contributed to develop and structure OO at Spanish national level. New basic products are now available and integrated with users
The ESEOO group has created “critical mass” for research and a common access point for OO at Spain
