Look at this example of an Oil drift forecast order form
When the simulation starts, a status monitoring page appears. Be sure to make a note of the serial number of the simulation for future reference. This page allows you to view input and log files while waiting for the simulation to complete. An oil drift simulation usually takes 2-10 minutes, depending on what forcing data is being accessed. A small information box will appear when the simulation is complete. Data files in ascii and binary formats may then be downloaded from this page. Also, the results are now ready for viewing in the embedded viewing tool.
The status page will also show any errors that caused the simulation to fail.
Take a look at the facility for Viewing in embedded WMS client
The service includes a rudimentary viewing facility, which is implemented as an embedded WMS client. It is intended to serve as a backup viewing service for met.no's national clients, who normally use their own dedicated GIS to view data files delivered automatically.
This brings up the WMS client in the main panel. The basic WMS map facilities are available by using the buttons above the map area:
There is a time selector menu and increment buttons under the main menu.
Base layers include lat-long lines and a toggle for displaying the oil budget text box.
The hirlam20.00 and Nordic4km.00 selections show met.no's latest numerical forecast products for the atmosphere and ocean circulation. Coverage is limited to Europe and the Nordic Seas, respectively. These are in general not the same data that were used to force the drift model. (They will correspond to the forcing data only if met.no was selected as the Ocean model.)
NB! The map projection is tailored to northern Europe and is fixed. The view may be distorted in other areas of the world, for example in the southern hemisphere.
Look at this example of an Ship drift forecast order form
When the simulation starts, a status monitoring page appears. Be sure to make a note of the serial number of the simulation for future reference. This page allows you to view input and log files while waiting for the simulation to complete. A ship drift simulation usually takes 3-10 minutes, depending on what forcing data is being accessed. A small information box will appear when the simulation is complete. Data files in ascii and binary formats may then be downloaded from this page. Also, the results are now ready for viewing in the embedded viewing tool.
The status page will also show any errors that caused the simulation to fail.
Similar to viewing an oil drift simulation. Just select a simulation from the list under the shipdrift button under the main menu.
This facility makes it possible to predict the fate of oil spilled from a drifting ship, as in the “Prestige” accident. In summary, it is done by first performing a ship drift simulation, and then using the position and time information from the drift trajectory as a moving source for an oil spill simulation.

Same as for viewing any oil drift simulation. Just select the relevant simulation.
