ESSO - Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services

Overview

ESSO- INCOIS developed an oil spill trajectory prediction system to advise the Indian Coast guard, the Regulatory authority, Oil spill responders and the coastal community involved in the clean up and control measures during the event of oil spill. The coastal sensitive ecosystems and the marine habitats are being affected by oil spills. This operational system will deliver the trajectory of the spilled oil immediately, which can enable the oil spill responders to plan their clean up activity. The impact of the oil spills on the environment can also be reduced by getting the direction and movement of the spilled oil pollutant in advance. The predicted trajectory for a maximum period of 96 hours is made available for the users. The generated trajectory can be downloaded as an animation file. It can also be viewed immediately in the WebGIS map, as the options available makes the user access easier.

Objective:

1.Training to Indian Coast Guard officials on simulating oil spill trajectory pattern using INCOIS Online Oil Spill Advisory system
2.Hands on experiments to generate scenarios on oil spill

Learning Outcome:

Simulating oil drift patterns from oil spill prone zones such as Gulf of Kutch/Kambhat
