ABSTRACT The use of products delivered from operational oceanography systems to oil spill drift applications is investigated. The evaluation is conducted with the French operational oil spill drift forecast system MOTHY and three operational oceanography systems, MERCATOR (MERCATOR-OCEAN, France), FOAM (MetOffice, UK) and MFS (INGV, Italy). The present work focuses on evaluating the effects of introducing large scale currents in the MOTHY system. This effect is investigated in the Bay of Biscay and in the Western part of the Mediterranean Sea. Preliminary results are most encouraging.

ABSTRACT The Mediterranean Sea is a very sensitive zone; it is a virtually closed sea with an important economic and environmental pressure. ELF Aquitaine has decided to create its own oil spill response team called FOST (Fast Oil Spill Team) and its design makes it unique. This paper discusses the main innovations of this centre and describes materials available there, and also presents the partnership established between ELF Aquitaine and the Marseille batallion of the Marins Pompiers (Marine Emergency Services).
