A comparison study between 10 Mediterranean lagoons has been carried out by means of the 3-D numerical model SHYFEM. The investigated basins are Venice and Marano-Grado in Northern Adriatic Sea, Lesina Varano Southern Taranto basin Ionian Cabras Lagoon Sardinia, Ganzirri Faro Sicily, Mar Menor Spain, Nador Morocco. This focused on hydrodynamics terms exchange rates, transport time scale, mixing. Water depends mainly inlet shape tidal range, but also wind regimes case multi-inlet lagoons....

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...
Venice has long suffered the effects of rising sea levels.The last two stormy seasons brought a series events that peaked in great flood November 2019.Here, we analyze storm, showing (1) how different factors, by themselves unexceptional, gave rise to one worst floods Venice's history, and (2) characteristics this event made storm difficult forecast accurately.We stress need take into account probabilistic information available from ensemble forecasts, discuss within framework present...
Abstract. This paper reviews the state of art in storm surge forecasting and its particular application northern Adriatic Sea. The city Venice already depends on operational systems to warn population economy imminent flood threats, as well help protect extensive cultural heritage. will be more important future, with new mobile barriers called MOSE (MOdulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico, Experimental Electromechanical Module) that completed by 2021. depend accurate control their operation. In...
A tide-surge-wave modelling system, called Kassandra, was developed for the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of a 3-D finite element hydrodynamic model (SHYFEM), including tidal and third generation spectral wave (WWMII) coupled to model. The numerical grid models covers whole with variable resolution. comparison coastal tide gauge stations along Italian peninsula results in root sum square error main components equal 1.44 cm. operational implementation Kassandra storm surge system through use...
The oceanographic forecast capability in coastal seas is often limited by the capacity of numerical models correctly reproducing complex morphology coastline and exchange processes between shelf open seas. In marginal Adriatic Sea this task uppermost importance due to presence several water bodies rivers. We present here a new operational system, called Tiresias, based on unstructured grid model SHYFEM representing whole together with lagoons Marano-Grado, Venice Po Delta. novelty system...
Abstract Lagoons are considered to be the most valuable systems of Mediterranean coastal area, with crucial ecological, historical, economical, and social relevance. Climate change strongly affects areas can deeply status transitional like lagoons. Herein we investigate hydrological response 10 lagoons climate by means numerical models. Our results suggest that amplify salinity temperature changes expected for open sea. Moreover, simulations indicate there will a general loss intralagoon...
Abstract Tidal channels are crucial for the functioning of wetlands, though their morphological properties, which relevant seafloor habitats and flow, have been understudied so far. Here, we release a dataset composed Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) extracted from total 2,500 linear kilometres high-resolution multibeam echosounder (MBES) data collected in 2013 covering entire network tidal inlets Venice Lagoon, Italy. The comprises also backscatter (BS) data, reflect acoustic properties...
In this research we present a modelling study of storm surges influenced by pre‐existing seiches in the Adriatic Sea. The natural oscillation modes – Sea can be easily excited wind, due to particular marine bathymetry and coastal orography. Moreover, such oscillations interact with newer wind‐induced or other sea‐level components. This paper first considers issues seiche reproduction, using simplified approach, then analyses reproduction model two extreme surge events, seiches. order...
Abstract. Addressing coastal risks related to sea storms requires an integrative approach which combines monitoring stations, forecasting models, early warning systems, and management planning. Such great effort is sometimes possible only through transnational cooperation, becomes thus vital face, effectively promptly, the marine events are responsible for damage impacting environment citizens' life. Here we present a shared interoperable system allow better exchange of elaboration on...
Understanding the water circulation in oceans and coastal seas is among key topics of oceanographic climate research. Hydrodynamic studies form basis for many subjects, whether sediment transport, morphology, quality, ecological changes are being investigated. modelling has become a fundamental tool describing dynamics marine environments, revealing human impact on sea promoting sustainable development resources. By complementing – through data assimilation more diffuse integrated global...
Abstract. On 18 September 2020, Medicane Ianos hit the western coast of Greece, resulting in flooding and severe damage at several coastal locations. In this work, we aim evaluating its impact on sea conditions associated uncertainty through use an ensemble numerical simulations. We applied a coupled wave–current model to unstructured mesh, representing whole Mediterranean Sea, with grid resolution increasing Ionian Sea along cyclone path landfall area. To investigate modelling levels waves...
In this work, we aim to provide climatology and future scenarios of the sea level wave parameters over Mediterranean Sea, focusing on Adriatic Sea. The period for covers all years from 1994 2020, while two (IPCC RCP4.5, RCP8.5) are projected in (2021-2050) waves Sea compared a historical control (1981-2010).

Assessing the coastal hazards of extreme ocean and weather conditions, remains a difficult task for scientific community since several limits need tobe overcome. The physical knowledge events, precise representation input data, as well reproducing correct accurate numerical simulations are some them.In this work we consider dataset more then 1100 cyclones which took place in period 1994-2020 Mediterranean basin. aim is to evaluate their impact - terms sea level waves both open regions...
