GOBLIN (Global Ocean modelling Builds Links with INdustry)

作为对安全和环境负责的运营承诺的组成部分，石油和天然气利益相关者调查其设施正常和紧急情况的潜在影响。实现这一目标的一个重要工具是慢性和急性污染的高分辨率模拟建模。虽然建立和运行这些模型所涉及的管理费用在很大程度上超出了参与此类工作的中小企业，但NERC在海洋建模方面投入了大量资金，这为合作和从我们的研究中提取附加值提供了机会。在GOBLIN内部，我们建议-与我们的工业合作伙伴一起-将现有的模拟输出开发成一种既适合又可供工业利益相关者使用的格式。为了实现这一目标，我们将制作精细全球海洋模型的数据可视化，并创建一个数据门户，允许访问底层模拟环流。GOBLIN的这些产出将在2015年的国际“海洋商业”展览会上展出，并由一个平行的讲习班提供支持，该讲习班将向工业中潜在的新伙伴介绍这些产出。结合这些活动，GOBLIN建议从与这个部门的接触中学习，采用最符合工业需求的模拟和模型输出协议。GOBLIN的目的是，首先，向利益相关者展示NERC能够提供什么，其次，提供一个参与论坛，以适应未来NERC的努力，以最好地满足行业需求。

As a component of their commitment to operate both safely and environmentally responsibly, oil and gas stakeholders investigate the potential impacts of normal and emergency conditions at their facilities. An important tool to achieve this is high resolution simulation modelling of chronic and acute contamination. While the overheads involved in building and running such models are largely beyond SMEs involved in such work, NERC has invested strongly in ocean modelling and this presents an opportunity for collaboration and the extracting of added value from our research. Within GOBLIN, we propose - in conjunction with our industrial partners - to develop existing simulation output into a format that is both appropriate for and available to industrial stakeholders. To achieve this, we will produce data visualisations of our fine-scale global ocean model, and create a data portal that will allow access to the underlying simulated circulation. These outputs of GOBLIN will be showcased at the international "Ocean Business" exhibition in 2015, and supported by a parallel workshop that will introduce them to potential new partners in industry. In conjunction with these activities, GOBLIN proposes to learn from engaging with this sector to adopt protocols for simulations and model output that best map to industry requirements. The intention of GOBLIN is, firstly, to show stakeholders what NERC is able to provide, and, secondly, to provide a forum for engagement to adapt future NERC efforts to best complement industry needs.
