Storm Gloria was the 10th named storm in Europe for 2019–2020 winter season, and it severely affected Spain France. This powerful represents an excellent study case to analyze capabilities of different ocean model systems available Spanish Mediterranean coasts simulate extreme events, as well assess their suitability enhance preparedness maritime disasters with high impacts on coastal areas. Five operational forecasting services able predict storm-induced circulation are evaluated. Three...
Recent advances in numerical modeling, satellite data, and coastal processes, together with the rapid evolution of CMEMS products increasing pressures on zones, suggest timeliness extending such toward coast. The CEASELESS EU H2020 project combines Sentinel in-situ data high-resolution models to predict hydrodynamics at a variety scales, according stakeholder requirements. These predictions explicitly introduce land discharges into oceanography, addressing local conditioning, assimilation...
Effective management of urban coastlines and port areas relies heavily on accurate prediction understanding local coastal processes, particularly in regions where nearshore morphology bathymetry have a significant influence ocean circulation wave transformation. This work presents state-of-the-art three-dimensional modelling tool designed to improve the conditions Barcelona zone. The uses Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport Modelling System (COAWST) [1], which Model Coupling...
The spreading of the plume induced by freshwater discharge from Ebro River into northwestern Mediterranean coastal waters was modelled using two numerical codes. current field obtained with a finite difference hydrodynamic model based on steady-state version shallow-water equations, whereas dispersion calculated Lagrangian code that solves 3D convection-diffusion equation and reproduces turbulent diffusion random-walk algorithm. agreement between results, satellite observations measurements...
This paper intends to assess the potential impacts of future SLR on operability berthing structures and estimate in monetary terms adaptation costs it. To do this, three scenarios are considered, two corresponding last assessment report IPCC (RCP4.5 RCP8.5) other being a high-end scenario (HES), with low probability occurrence but physically possible. The research is focused case study Tangier-Med port, which considered as an economic magnet for northern region Morocco centerpiece government...
The Puertos del Estado SAMOA coastal and port ocean forecast service delivers operational forecasts to the Spanish Port Authorities since 01/2017 (originally set-up for 9 ports). In its second development phase (2019–2021), has been extended 31 ports (practically, whole System). Besides, next generation of is being developed. Research focused on (1) updating atmospheric forcing (by combining AEMET HARMONIE 2.5 Km IFS-ECMWF ones), (2) upgrading circulation model (ROMS), (3) testing new...
Computational fluid dynamics plays an important role in engineering design. To gain insight into solving problems involving complex industrial flows, such as impinging gas-jet systems (IJS), evaluation of several eddy viscosity models, applied to these IJS has been made. Good agreement with experimental mean values for the field velocities and Nusselt number was obtained, but velocity fluctuations local along wall disagree experiments some cases. Experiments show a clear relation between...
Oil spill accidents during port operations are one of the main hydrocarbon pollution threats for coastal waters. Appropriate environmental risk assessment and events management tools needed to achieve sustainability protection in activity. Recent developments monitoring techniques accurate meteo-oceanographic prediction systems have been implemented many ports, providing management. A novel method based on operational services, conjunction with Monte Carlo experiments using an oil model, is...
Abstract. In this contribution we investigate the hydrodynamic response in Alfacs Bay (Ebro Delta, NW Mediterranean Sea) to different anthropogenic modifications freshwater flows and inner bay–open sea connections. The fresh water coming from rice field irrigation contains nutrients pesticides therefore affects multiple ways productivity quality of bay. application a nested oceanographic circulation modelling suite within bay provides objective information solve problems that are becoming...
