GOBLIN (Global Ocean modelling Builds Links with INdustry)

作为对安全和对环境负责的运营承诺的一部分，石油和天然气利益攸关方调查其设施正常和紧急情况的潜在影响。实现这一点的一个重要工具是慢性和急性污染的高分辨率模拟模型。虽然建立和运行这种模型所涉及的管理费用在很大程度上超出了参与这类工作的中小企业的范围，但国家海洋研究中心在海洋模型方面投入了大量资金，这为我们的研究提供了一个合作和获取附加值的机会。在Goblin内部，我们建议与我们的行业合作伙伴一起，将现有的模拟输出开发为一种既适合行业利益相关者又可供行业利益相关者使用的格式。为了实现这一点，我们将制作我们的精细全球海洋模型的数据可视化，并创建一个数据门户，允许访问底层模拟的环流。Goblin的这些成果将在2015年的国际“海洋商业”展览上展示，并得到一个平行讲习班的支持，该讲习班将向它们介绍潜在的工业新合作伙伴。结合这些活动，Goblin建议从与该部门的接触中学习，以便采用最符合行业要求的模拟和模型输出协议。Goblin的目的首先是向利益相关者展示NERC能够提供什么，其次是提供一个参与论坛，使NERC未来的努力能够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.
