Marine eutrophication in the North-East Atlantic (NEA) strongly relies on nutrient enrichment at river outlets, which is linked to human activities and land use watersheds. The question whether society can reduce its emissions by changing without compromising food security. A new version of Riverstrahler model (pyNuts-Riverstrahler) was designed estimate point diffuse (N, P, Si) rivers depending watersheds across a large domain (Western Europe agro-food systems, waste water treatment). loads...
Abstract. Coastal defence structures are often constructed to prevent beach erosion. However, poorly designed may cause serious erosion problems in the downdrift direction. Morphological models useful tools predict such impacts and assess efficiency of for different scenarios. Nevertheless, morphological modelling is still a topic under intense research effort. The processes simulated by model depend on complexity. For instance, undertow currents neglected coastal area (2DH), which...
Portugal is the country in Europe where death rate winter and summer has highest correlation with outdoor temperatures. The Portuguese National Institute of Public Health Ricardo Jorge developed a national warning system for heat waves called ICARO, which been place since 1999 (and oldest Europe). However, it presents some limitations, namely, low spatial resolution (five regions Portugal’s mainland), temporal forecasting period (one day), fact that was only accessible to health authorities...
Ocean circulation models are frequently used in maritime Search and Rescue operations due to their skill simulating the effects of local currents on transport people or objects. They also occasionally forensic contexts. Frequently, positively neutrally buoyant passive particles these simulations, as a proxy for 'objects' study. In this paper, adequacy particle model simulations is tested an attempt reproduce drift real case situation. The study consists drowning accident which was ~2 km...
Hydrological models are increasingly used for studying watershed behavior and its response to past future events. The main objective of this study was conduct a sensitivity analysis the MOHID-Land model identify most relevant parameters/processes influencing river flow generation. is complex, physically based, three-dimensional catchment-scale applications. A reference simulation implemented in Ulla River watershed, northwestern Spain. focused on sixteen water dynamics at that scale....
Abstract Over the last decade, Antarctic continent has been object of intensive scientific programmes. However, emphasis these studies rarely focuses on as a source potential elements such mercury. The release mercury to environment is known occur at Deception Island, associated with volcanic activity. In this study, 3D hydrodynamic model was used assess role water circulation dispersion released Sea level variation and tidal data were obtained. Residence time calculated using two different...
Drowning accidents followed by the disappearance of body are particularly distressing events. When such tragedy strikes, Search and Rescue Operations usually deployed to recover body. The efficiency efforts can be enhanced timely data appropriate integration tools, as operational prediction systems relying on numerical models or other sources. In this paper, we propose four stages for after drowning briefly address critical role ocean observations at each stage, well relevancy available...
