Abstract New monitoring technologies are being progressively implemented in open-ocean and coastal observatories. The Mediterranean Sea is a well-known, reduced-scale ocean, an ideal natural laboratory to study global ocean processes, particular those associated with meso- submesoscale variability, interactions mean flows ecosystem response. SOCIB, the Balearic Islands Coastal Ocean Observing Forecasting System, one of such observatories, multiplatform distributed integrated system, facility...
This paper describes the high-resolution Western Mediterranean Sea Operational Forecasting System (WMOP) developed at Balearic Islands Coastal Observing and (SOCIB). The system runs on a daily basis driven by atmospheric forcing, providing 3-day forecasts of physical oceanic variables with 2 km horizontal resolution, thus representing ocean variability from mesoscale to basin scale Gibraltar Strait Sardinia Channel. A systematic regional monitoring validation has been using multi-platform...
In this study, for the first time at regional scale, combined use of remote sensing data (altimetry and sea surface temperature records) provides a description persistent, recurrent transient circulation regimes Alborán Sea circulation. The analysis 936 altimeter‐derived weekly absolute dynamic topography (ADT) geostrophic current maps 1993–2010 reveals presence dominant annual signal two interannual modes variability. winter‐spring phase is characterized by stable gyral scale features;...
[1] Meteotsunamis are oceanic waves that possess tsunami-like characteristics but meteorological in origin. In the western Mediterranean, travelling atmospheric pressure oscillations generate these long surface can become amplified and produce strong seiche inside harbors. We analyze a June 2006 meteotsunami event Ciutadella harbor (Menorca Island, Spain), studying numerically phenomenon during its full life cycle, from early stages to atmosphere-ocean resonant phase final highly...
The coastal areas of the North‐Western Mediterranean Sea are one most challenging places for ocean forecasting. This region is exposed to severe storms events that short duration. During these events, significant air‐sea interactions, strong winds and large sea‐state can have catastrophic consequences in areas. To investigate interactions oceanic response such we implemented Coupled Ocean‐Atmosphere‐Wave‐Sediment Transport Modeling System simulating a storm occurred May 2010. this event,...
Further investigation is needed to improve the identification and classification of fish in underwater images using artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning. Questions that need be explored include importance diverse backgrounds, effect (not) labeling small on precision, number for successful classification, whether they should randomly selected. To address these questions, a new labeled dataset was created with over 18,400 recorded Mediterranean from 20 species 1,600 different...

This paper summarizes the glider activities carried out in last 5 years by IMEDEA Department of Marine Technologies, Operational Oceanography and Sustainability (TMOOS). TMOOS has been operating gliders Western Mediterranean Sea since 2006 set-up electronic maintenance laboratories order to establish a key port area. Twenty-two missions have performed date over 17000 hydrographic biogeochemical profiles collected. is using for operational, technological scientific objectives. Studies path...
ABSTRACT On November 13th, 2002 the 26 year old tanker Prestige reported an emergency off North Western Spanish coast (Galicia). The ship was carrying 77,000 tons of heavy fuel oil that started to be spilled while vessel towed away from coast, affecting more than 900 km shoreline. location and way accident occurred implied a great challenge for organization coordinaton actions fight against pollution. site, just Finis terre cap, is complex region oceanographic point view weather conditions,...
