-==== Access to met.no's online drift services  ====
+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.
-Go to [[http://kilden.met.no|kilden.met.no]]
+The status page will also show any errors that caused the simulation to fail.
-Log in with the Mersea userid and password provided by met.no.
+==== To view a ship drift forecast ====
-==== Service site navigation ====
+Similar to viewing an oil drift simulation. Just select a simulation from the list under the **shipdrift** button under the main menu.
-The menu in the left-hand panel is used to select what you want:
+==== To perform a coupled ship drift - oil drift forecast ====
-  * **List simulations** shows a list of the most recent simulations for this user in the main panel. Useful for noting the serial number for simulations of interest.
-  * **Start oildrift simulation** brings up the OD3D oil spill model order form in the main panel.
-  * **Start shipdrift simulation** brings up the ship drift model order form in the main panel.
-  * **WMS display of drift simulations** brings up an embedded Web Mapping Service client in the main panel.
-==== To perform an oil drift forecast ====
+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.
-Look at this example of an [[kilden_oil_order|Oil drift forecast order form]]
+Take a look at the [[kilden_shipoil_order|order form for oil drift simulation with input from a ship drift trajectory]].
+  - Perform a ship drift simulation as described above. //Note the serial number of the simulation//.
   - Select **Start oildrift simulation** from the main menu.
-  - Fill in the most basic information: the start and ending times of the spill, the position and depth of the source. All other parameters have default values.
+  - Hit the **Get ship trajectory** button. Pops up a //Get shipdirft simulation// window.
+  - Select the ship drift simulation. Edit the oil spill depth and rate, as appropriate. Hit **OK**
+  - Edit list of positions / times / depths / rates if needed.
   - Fill in other information as necessary:
       * **Oil type**: Select from the list
