The Copernicus Marine Service supports safety at sea and pollution response.
When assisting emergency teams responding to offshore marine oil spills, government agencies use numerical software called oil spill drift-forecast models to predict the potential oil spread. The Copernicus Marine Service provides ocean current forecast for drift forecasting of the oil spread and better planning for the emergency response.
The principal mission of Coast Guards and Search and Rescue operations is to reduce risks at sea. The daily forecast of the Copernicus Marine Service ocean model provides ocean current and significant wave height parameters as input for their search and rescue software and met-ocean dashboards.
