Abstract. This paper presents the structure and application of a regional scale operational modelling tool for West Iberian coast, discusses its potential products services both scientific coastal management activities. The forecasting suite includes nested hydrodynamic models forced with up-to-date meteorological forecast data large-scale model results. present status system recent upgrades are reviewed, offering general description main components system: forcing data, circulation model,...
Marine debris is a growing problem in recent years due to population growth around the world. The incorrect management of plastic waste causes these bodies reach seas and oceans, becoming worldwide problem. Once they begin long period degradation, moving from macro state (plastics whose diameter greater than 0.5 cm) micro (diameter less cm). microplastics spread throughout entering food chain marine species and, subsequently, humans. Therefore, it important stop while remains at macroscale....
The increasing prevalence of plastic pollution in marine environments has necessitated a paradigm shift seafloor monitoring methodologies. Efforts to compile information and current state the art for litter highlighted urgent need innovative solutions enhance upscale capabilities assessing on ocean floor. Traditional methods, particularly trawling, have been widely employed opportunistic fashion monitor litter; however, they pose significant challenges drawbacks. Trawling not only disrupts...
The hydrodynamics of the TagusROFI (Regions Freshwater Influence) is affected by coastal upwelling, estuarine tidal flow, thermohaline circulation that modulated Tagus freshwater discharge, and its complex bathymetry. use numerical models best way to explain processes characterize this region. These are also crucial answer important scientific management questions. Nevertheless, robustness products derived from depend on their accuracy therefore must be validated determine uncertainty...
Understanding how long water is retained in an estuary and quickly it completely flushed essential to estimate estuary’s health areas with significant pollutant loadings. The present study analyses the effect of five different Tagus River discharge scenarios ranging from low extreme on residence time (RT), exposure (ET) integrated fractions inside pre-established areas, identify its most vulnerable pollution. 3D version MOHID hydrodynamic model coupled a lagrangian tool was used. increase...
The present work is focused on the dispersion of a thermal effluent, produced by Sines power plant, Portugal, along coastal waters.This facility intakes yearly average around 40 m 3 /s seawater, for required cooling process, which subsequently discharged back to ocean at 10 ºC increase in temperature.A three-dimensional hydrodynamic local model was nested into regional and set up simulate transport effluent during two distinct periods, August October 2013, respectively featuring dominant...
Abstract Moderate contamination is a challenging scenario for ecotoxicologists because of the occurrence subtle biomarker responses and increased relevance non‐contamination related variables. This investigative biomonitoring study was performed in moderately contaminated coastal system (Óbidos lagoon, Portugal) to examine winter–summer variations on biochemical accumulated metals Carcinus maenas , searching associations with environmental biological factors. Males females were collected...
