The Galician coast (NW Spain) is a region that strongly influenced by the presence of low pressure systems in mid-Atlantic Ocean and periodic passage storms give rise to severe sea states. Since its wave climate one most energetic Europe, objectives this paper were twofold. first objective was characterize extreme height events Galicia over wintertime two-year period (2015–2016) using reliable high-frequency radar parameters concert with predictions from regional (WAV) forecasting system...
An assessment of accuracy a three site short-range (27 MHz) CODAR SeaSonde HF radar network deployed in the Strait Gibraltar is attempted by comparing its surface current estimates with measurements from moored point meter. Radial and total vectors are compared for 47 day period 19 October to 4 December 2013, yielding angular offsets, root mean square errors correlations range 2ͦ–30ͦ, 8–22 cm s-1 0.31–0.81, respectively. Statistics improve when measured antenna pattern used, except at one...
Abstract. The Ebro River delta is a relevant marine protected area in the western Mediterranean. In order to promote conservation of its ecosystem and support operational decision making this sensitive area, three-site standard-range (13.5 MHz) CODAR SeaSonde high-frequency (HF) radar was deployed December 2013. main goal work explore basic features sea surface circulation deltaic region as derived from reliable HF current measurements. For aim, combined quality control methodology applied:...
Abstract Bays/estuaries forced by local wind show bidirectional exchange flow. When remote wind, they exhibit unidirectional flow adjustment to coastal sea level. Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler observations over 1 year that the Ria de Vigo (Iberian Upwelling) responds events with The duration of upwelling and downwelling events, estimated from current variability, was ~3.3 days ~2.6 days, respectively. Vectorial correlations reveal a rapid response upwelling/downwelling, in which currents...
Sixteen hydrographic surveys were carried out in the middle segment of Ría de Vigo (northwest Spain) at 3‐ to 4‐day intervals during February, April, July, and September 2002 (four per period). Simultaneously, an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) mooring recorded velocity profile. Combination direct measurements with output inverse model based on time course distributions salinity temperature allowed objective analysis effect meteorological forces hydrodynamics Ría. Remote shelf winds...
This paper showcases the one year-long (2014) multi-parameter skill assessment of Iberia-Biscay-Ireland (IBI) operational ocean forecasting system. The investigation is focused on a specific subdomain in Northwestern Mediterranean where several observational networks encompassing both situ and remote sensing instruments are available. region relevant since it includes two harbours marine protected area, Ebro River Delta. Class-1 class-2 metrics used concert to quantitatively evaluate quality...
The present work focuses on the long-term coastal monitoring of Atlantic surface inflow into Mediterranean basin through Strait Gibraltar. Hourly current maps provided during 2016–2017 by a High Frequency radar (HFR) system were used to characterize Jet (AJ) since changes in its speed and direction modulate upper-layer circulation Western Alboran Gyre (WAG). AJ pattern was observed follow marked seasonal cycle. A stronger flowed north-eastwards autumn winter, while weaker directed more...

A long-term multi-parameter skill assessment of a 5-MHz Coastal Ocean Dynamics Applications Radar (CODAR) SeaSonde High-Frequency radar (HFR) network deployed along the Galician Coast (NW Iberian Peninsula) was attempted for 2014–2016. To this aim, wave estimations from two HFR sites, obtained directly by CODAR proprietary software, were independently validated against hourly in situ observations moored buoys different periods. The accuracy significant height (Hs) revealed consistent...
