 ====== S9.2.6 - Marine security in the Levantine Basin ======
+===== Description =====
+The marine security for the Eastern Mediterranean Levantine Basin is based
+on the MEDSLIK oil drift model, that is operational at the Cyprus
+Oceanography Center (OC-UCY). Within ECOOP the focus is to show the ability
+of the MEDSLIK system to provide to the response agencies reliable
+operational oil spill predictions, particularly through:
+   * high and low resolution/frequency ocean and wind forcing to enable ensemble forecasts
+   * response to warning reports for potential and real oil spills
+===== Users =====
+Key users are the
+  * Subregional Contingency plan for emergency response to major pollution incidents in the Eastern Mediterranean Levantine, between Cyprus, Egypt and Israel and thecorresponding contingency plan for Syria.
+  * The key users for search and rescue module are the local Search and Rescue centres.
+===== Demonstration =====
+MEDSLIK recently developments include:
+  - the wave-oil interaction in the oil drift service, where MEDSLIK use the CYCOFOS wave forecasting data.
+  - backtracking oil drift
+  - integration with the Cyprus AIS covering the Eastern Mediterranean Levantine basin
+  - integration with EMSA CSN satellite images
+  - automatic version of MEDSLIK for 24h forward and backward oil slicks predictions using EMSA CSN ASAR & RADASAR images in the Eastern Mediterranean Levantine Basin (Figure 1)

+In Figure 2a we display five oil slicks as were identified by EMSA CSN on
+the 14 January 2009 in the Levantine, west Cyprus. In Figure 2b,c forward
+and backward predictions of the five oil slicks on 14 Jan. 2009. In Figure
+b the oil spill predictions in the MEDSLIK visualization module, in Figure
+c the MEDSLIK predictions in geotiff image, where red color: forward
+predictions, green color : backward predictions, yellow color : satellite
+observation. The predicted slicks in this application were drawn every 12h,
+using as forcing the CYCOFOS currents and waves and the SKIRON winds.

+In Figure 3, use of Google Map for visualization of MEDSLIK 24 h forward and
+backward predictions of the five oil slicks identified by EMSA CSN on the 14
+Jan. 2009. red color: forward, green color : backward, yellow: satellite
+observation.  The slicks here were drawn every 6 h, using as forcing the
+CYCOFOS currents and waves and the SKIRON winds.
