High-impact ocean weather events and climate extremes can have devastating effects on coastal zones small islands. Marine Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) is a systematic approach to such events, through which the risk of disaster be identified, assessed reduced. This done by improving atmosphere prediction models, data assimilation for better initial conditions developing an efficient sustainable impact forecasting methodology Early Warnings Systems. A common user request during remediation...

Abstract The diurnal cycle of sea surface temperature (SST) is an important component the ocean‐atmosphere system and necessary for accurately computing air‐sea heat fluxes. Ocean temperatures in near‐surface are highly sensitive to atmospheric conditions can vary significantly depending on time day. general circulation models unable fully capture SST variability, because they do not possess vertical structure resolution. Furthermore, observations come from a number sources that represent at...

Abstract. In this paper, the Copernicus Ocean State Report offers detailed scientific analysis of ocean under climate change, variability, and extremes in northeastern Atlantic adjacent seas. Major results show that seas have experienced consistent warming, with sea surface temperatures increasing at a rate 0.25 ± 0.03 °C per decade since 1982, doubling global average trend. This warming is most pronounced Black Sea, Mediterranean Baltic Sea. Sea levels risen significantly over past 30...
Abstract. Observation operators (OOs) are a central component of any data assimilation system. As they project the state variables numerical model into space observations, also provide an ideal opportunity to correct for effects that not described or insufficiently by model. In such cases dynamical OO, OO interfaces secondary and more specialised model, often provides best results. However, given large number observations be assimilated in typical atmospheric oceanographic computational...

The complex processes that occur in river delta areas cannot be fully resolved using traditional structured-mesh models. A seamless unstructured-grid approach could support advances the estimation and modeling of such dynamics across scales. In this paper, a river–coastal–ocean continuum representation was developed for Tiber River delta, including surrounding coastal open-ocean zones along Lazio coast (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy). Using temperature salinity profiles acquired from historical data...

Abstract. In spite of their long-standing availability, the optimal assimilation sea surface temperature (SST) observations retrieved from infrared and microwave space-borne sensors is still challenging in oceanographic forecast systems. One prominent problem stems fact that ocean general circulation models do not resolve diurnal variability SST data as measured by satellites. order to improve schemes enhance exploitation swath data, an observation operator capable representing cycle...
