Abstract
Shipping activities in the Baltic Sea, including oil transport and oil handled in harbors, have a number of negative impacts on the marine environment, marine protected areas (MPAs) and coastal zone. One of the main tasks in the ecological monitoring of the MPAs in the European seas is an operational satellite and aerial detection of oil spillages, determination of their characteristics, establishment of the pollution sources and forecast of probable trajectories of the oil spill transport. The interactive numerical model Seatrack Web SMHI is a powerful operational tool that can be used for a forecast of the oil spill drift in the vicinity of MPAs and for assessment of ecological risks related to potential oil pollution of every MPAs in the Baltic Sea. Three examples of oil spill drift modelling and of calculation a probability of the oil drift for specific points along main ship routes in the Gulf of Finland and southward of Gotland for July and August 2007 are shown.
波罗的海的航运活动,包括石油运输和在港口处理的石油,对海洋环境、海洋保护区和沿海区有若干不利影响。对欧洲海域海洋保护区进行生态监测的主要任务之一是利用卫星和航空探测溢油,确定其特征,确定污染源和预测溢油运输的可能轨迹。交互式数值模型Seatrack Web SMHI是一个强大的操作工具,可用于预测海洋保护区附近的溢油漂移,并用于评估波罗的海各海洋保护区潜在石油污染的生态风险。本文给出了2007年7月和8月芬兰湾和哥特兰岛以南主要航线上特定地点的漏油漂移建模和漏油漂移概率计算的三个例子。
