GNOME (General NOAA Operational Modeling Environment)
For the calculations the effects of the Oil Spills, UkrSCES experts are using the model General
NOAA Oіl Modelіng Envіronment (GNOME, v. 1.3.1), that allows to identify the scales of the oil
pollution, quantity of oil, that were thrown to the coastline, and left in water. GNOME takes into account
global sea, river and wind flow fields, type and quantity of the oil products.
Data from Hydrometeorological Centre
Input data for GNOME:
Settings of simulation
parameters (start date, duration)
Flow fields settings (wind,
global, wind and river flows)
Download of cartographical
underlying layers
Data for quantity and quality
indicators, localization of
pollution.

Updated maps of environmental sensitivity (ESI)
To display the information in the ArcMap 9.3 in
the form of shape files GNOME “Trajectory Import
Tools” is used. Further these data are transmitted to
the interactive service.
Data provided in the real-time movies,
which reflect the distribution/change of the oil
pollution. GNOME can also be used for
modeling oil pollutions in the river basins.
The budget model of quantitative and qualitative
changes in oil pollution.
1. There were added layers with ESI-indexes of the shoreline to the new system, that were built on the basis of the navigation maps "Tarhankut - Sevastopol, Sevastopol - Meganom, Theodosius - Anapa" (Scale 1:200
000)
2. District Odessa is indexed on the basis of the navigation map, "Approaches to the ports of Odessa - Ilyichevsk - Ugnii" (Scale 1:50 000)
3. Defined layers “Objects that are sensetive to oil pollution (new objects)
4. Work is made on indexing the shoreline of the Azov Sea (Sea charts of the Western part of the Azov Sea and the eastern part of the Azov Sea "(Scale 1:250 000)
Interactive Map Service “MES”
For full functionality of the system requires information, which covers the
following aspects:
1. Territory of the most vulnerable and sensitive to oil pollution
- Maps of environmental sensitivity (ESI)
2. Marine traffic and the risk of contamination
- Statistics on marine traffic (the flux density of vessels)
- Statistics on accidents with oil spills for years (preferably detailed
information: avrii reason, the volume of discharge, damage, etc.)
3. Availability of capacity to respond to emergencies related to oil pollution
- Information on port facilities and Emergency Response (skimmer, booms,
etc.)
- Firefighters
- Aviation

Processing of the nautical S-57 maps
During the reporting period
processed 39 sheets of nautical charts,
previously acquired from
UkrMorKartografiya, and converted
from S-57 format in shapefiles for
further use in ArcGIS, as well as in
ArcIMS.
