Effective management of urban coastlines and port areas relies heavily on accurate prediction understanding local coastal processes, particularly in regions where nearshore morphology bathymetry have a significant influence ocean circulation wave transformation. This work presents state-of-the-art three-dimensional modelling tool designed to improve the conditions Barcelona zone. The uses Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport Modelling System (COAWST) [1], which Model Coupling...
The water quality in port domains is highly dependent on the capacity for renewal and mixing with external water. This study uses Lagrangian modelling to investigate time Barcelona, Tarragona, Gijón harbours (Spain), which represent semi-enclosed micro-tidal meso-tidal environments. For this purpose, different particle-tracking simulations have been carried out each of ports trends circulation both surface layer at bottom. results indicate that microtidal Mediterranean ports, longer bottom...
<p>Quality ocean information from observations and forecasting is crucial to support evidence-based decision making providing a framework for underpinning the scientific basis policies that regulate use of oceans, coastal regions port areas, maintaining their healthy ecosystems, protecting development littoral zones, monitoring environmental mitigation efforts. However, there are fundamental gaps in our observing capabilities, limiting capacity manage regions, areas...
