Coastal ocean observing and modeling systems (coastal observatories), connected with regional global systems, improve the quality of information forecasts for effective management safe sustainable maritime activities. The public availability systematic long-term is an engine Blue Economy, boosting economic growth, employment, innovation. An overview some Brazilian initiatives presented in this paper, involving universities, private companies, federal state agencies, covering institutions...
Abstract. Coastal defence structures are often constructed to prevent beach erosion. However, poorly designed may cause serious erosion problems in the downdrift direction. Morphological models useful tools predict such impacts and assess efficiency of for different scenarios. Nevertheless, morphological modelling is still a topic under intense research effort. The processes simulated by model depend on complexity. For instance, undertow currents neglected coastal area (2DH), which...
Abstract The applicability of a numerical model following downscaling methodology was evaluated for the south-eastern Brazilian shelf (regional model) and Paranaguá estuarine system (local model). This approach permits simulation different scale processes, such as storm surges coastal upwelling, is suitable operational forecasting purposes. When large areas are covered by regional models, tidal propagation inside domain can be significantly affected local potential, mainly where resonance...
Sensitivity analysis (SA) has long been recognized as part of best practices to assess if any particular model can be suitable inform decisions, despite its uncertainties. SA is a commonly used approach for identifying important parameters that dominate behavior. As such, address two elementary questions in the modeling exercise, namely, how sensitive changes individual parameter values, and which or associated processes have more influence on results. In this paper we report local performed...
Sandy beaches have different shoreline change rates (i.e., erosion/accretion rates). An erosive process on poses risks for human-occupied areas. One example is Matinhos Beach (state of Paraná - Brazil), which has an average annual erosion rate around 1.5 m yr-1 This study applied a methodology that combines in situ measurements and numerical modeling to simulate the physical processes coastal area during 2018 Austral winter. Monthly DGPS surveys were carried out from June September. The...

Abstract. Operational oceanography can be considered the backbone of Blue Economy: it offers solutions that support multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals by promoting sustainable use ocean resources for economic growth, livelihoods and job creation. Given this strategic challenge, community worldwide has started to develop science-based user-oriented downstream services applications products as provided forecasting systems main input. This paper gives an overview stakeholder tools...
Floating oil containment booms represent an important part of contingency plans developed to protect sensitive shorelines and/or coastal infrastructure. These can however fail effectively contain if improperly deployed or used during unfavorable conditions. Modeling the use using different realistic scenarios help both improve understanding and reduce occurrence boom failure due leakage submersion. Our project is focused on improvements shoreline defenses against marine pollution (ISDAMP)...
