Oil spills are always followed by the dramatic impact on environment. Operations of efficient emergency planning are just as important as the oil liquidation measures. Along with the closest supervision of equipment and technical processes, there has to be the maximum rapid response to abnormal situations. This article is focused on oil spill modelling systems as a source of actual information about accidental situations. Article describes the advantages of the operational forecasting, modeling tools implemented in the process of rebuilding scenarios of oil spills, their dependence on weather and environmental conditions (wind speed, currents, etc.). As a specific example, the modeling system GNOME (General NOAA Operational Modeling Environment) is described.
