WITOIL Cloud for iMagine
Witoil Cloud for iMagine performs an oil spill simulation with parameters that were enhanced by AI (bayesian optimisation) anywhere in the world. Users require only to register within Copernicus Marine Services and Climate Data Store from ECMWF, so environmental data can be used.
WITOIL (Where Is the Oil) is a multi-model Decision Support System (DSS) on-demand service that forecasts transport and weathering of actual or hypothetical oil spills in the global, regional European Seas, and in the selected coastal areas. WITOIL uses the MEDSLIK-II oil spill model forced by operational meteo-oceanographic services. The service has been further refined by using labelled image datasets from Sentinel 1, Sentinel 2 and Landsat 8 satellites to improve existing deep-learning algorithms and the AI-supported detection of oil spills. WITOIL is now an operational service in the iMagine-AI platform and interfaces with existing operational marine pollution oil spill monitoring and modelling services running at CMCC. Relevant guidelines and documentation are also available to promote the service uptake.
