Balearic Islands Coastal Observing and Forecasting System
2018-2022
The Mediterranean community represented in this paper is the result of more than 30 years EU & nationally funded coordination that has led to key contributions science concepts and operational initiatives. Together with establishment services, been coordinating Universities, research centers, infrastructures private companies implement advanced multi-platform integrated observing forecasting systems facilitate advancement scientific achievements mission-oriented innovation. As a result, able...
Abstract. Due to the semi-enclosed nature of Mediterranean Sea, natural disasters and anthropogenic activities impose stronger pressures on its coastal ecosystems than in any other sea world. With aim responding adequately science priorities societal challenges, littoral waters must be effectively monitored with high-frequency radar (HFR) systems. This land-based remote sensing technology can provide, near-real time, fine-resolution maps surface circulation over broad areas, along reliable...
We present an impact assessment of temperature and salinity glider observations on physical analysis forecasting systems operating in the Western Mediterranean Sea through one-year-long coordinated experiments. A unique set including data from several endurance lines provided by different institutions is assimilated three systems. Results are compared against assimilation-free run assimilative-run that with each systems’ default configuration. Moreover, additional biogeochemical system...
Abstract In numerical ocean modeling, dynamical downscaling is the approach consisting in generating high-resolution regional simulations exploiting information from coarser resolution models for initial and boundary conditions. Here we evaluate impacts of 1/16 o (~ 6–7 km) CMEMS Mediterranean reanalysis model solution into a 2-km free-run simulation over Western basin, focusing on surface circulation mesoscale activity. Multi-platform observations satellite-borne altimeters, high-frequency...
Abstract. The REP14-MED sea trial carried out off the west coast of Sardinia in June 2014 provided a rich set observations from both ship-based conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD) probes and fleet underwater gliders. We present results several simulations assimilating data either CTDs or different subsets glider data, including up to eight vehicles, addition satellite level anomalies, surface temperature Argo profiles. Western Mediterranean OPerational forcasting system (WMOP) regional...
Abstract. The impact of the assimilation HFR (high-frequency radar) observations in a high-resolution regional model is evaluated, focusing on improvement mesoscale dynamics. study area Ibiza Channel, located western Mediterranean Sea. resulting fields are tested against trajectories from 13 drifters. Six different experiments compared to control run (no assimilation). consist assimilating (i) sea surface temperature, level anomaly, and Argo profiles (generic observation dataset); generic...
Abstract. The Mediterranean Sea is a prominent climate-change hot spot, with many socioeconomically vital coastal areas being the most vulnerable targets for maritime safety, diverse met-ocean hazards and marine pollution. Providing an unprecedented spatial temporal resolution at wide areas, high-frequency radars (HFRs) have been steadily gaining recognition as effective land-based remote sensing technology continuous monitoring of surface circulation, increasingly waves occasionally winds....
Abstract. The observational part of the REP14-MED experiment was conducted in June 2014 Sardo-Balearic Basin west Sardinia (western Mediterranean Sea). Two research vessels collected high-resolution oceanographic data by means hydrographic casts, towed systems, and underway measurements. In addition, a vast amount provided fleet 11 ocean gliders, time series were available from moored instruments, information on Lagrangian flow patterns obtained surface drifters one profiling float. spatial...

The impact of the expansion a high-frequency radar (HFR) system in Ibiza Channel (Western Mediterranean Sea) is evaluated through an Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE). installation two new antennas Iberian Peninsula would complement existing ones islands and Formentera, providing surface currents observations full channel. Two different configuration same model, validated to give realistic simulations, are used: i) Nature Run (NR) which considered as real ocean state that used...
