CleanSeaNet - Near real time oil spill monitoring

KSAT runs a satellite based, near-realtime (30 min max delay), oil-spill detection service through the EMSA (European Maritime Security Agency) CleanSeaNet service. All content from this service is available as GML 3.1.1 for all data delivery (except the actual images) and for publishing of data to their customers.

Schemas and some sample datafiles can been found at:

The oil spill polygon schema and supporting documentation are concise and provide excellent examples of using GML to encode key content.
