Oscillating Water Column (OWC)-based power take-off systems are one of the potential solutions to current energy problems arising from use nuclear fission and consumption fossil fuels. This kind converter turns wave into electric by means three different stages: firstly is transformed pneumatic in OWC chamber, then a turbine it mechanical finally turbogenerator module attached creates rotational energy. To date, capture chambers have been least studied part. In this context, paper presents...
Recently, considerable interest has been generated in the wave energy production. As a new use of ocean, Spatial Planning approach is proposed to provide mechanism achieve consensus among sectors operating at present, together with identification most suitable locations accommodate Wave Energy Converters (WECs), near future. In this contribution: (a) methodology for establishment Suitability Index (SI) WECs installation location selection proposed; (b) spatial distribution SI mapped; and...

The coastal flooding associated to storms can represent a critical challenge with significant consequences for both natural environments and human societies. This phenomenon could have far-reaching repercussions, impacting ecosystems, infrastructure, economies, public safety in various ways what result substantial economic losses, displacement of communities, disruption daily life. generation databases enhance the knowledge into this phenomenon, helping decision-makers develop more effective...
Abstract Marine protected areas play an important role in the conservation of marine resources and fisheries management. In Basque Country (northern Spain), small (158 ha) Gaztelugatxe Reserve was established 1998; after 5 years without exploitation, it is considered likely that goose barnacle Pollicipes pollicipes populations have recovered. This contribution provides information on standing stock, relationships between biomass, coverage, density, environmental factors such as wave height...

Video observation of the morphodynamics nearshore sandbars on a partially engineered embayed beach.Embayed beaches are prevalent environments along northern Spanish coastline. The present work analyses temporal spatial variability pocket beach Zarautz using daily video observations over 2 years. This urbanized can be divided into two well defined distinct areas: natural section backed by sand dune system to...
Abstract. This work presents the main characteristics of Basque Meteorology Agency (Euskalmet) maritime–coastal risk warning system, with special emphasis on latest updates, including a clear differentiation specific messages addressing sea conditions for navigation purposes in first 2 nautical miles, and expected coastal impacts. Some details bulletin maritime situations are also presented, together other communication products strategies used severe episodes at coast. Today, three...

Wave resource assessment is the first step toward installation of a wave energy converter (WEC). To support initiatives for development in southwest France, coastal database built from 44-year hindcast simulation with spectral model SWAN (Simulating WAve Nearshore) run on high-resolution unstructured grid. The includes shallow-water processes such as refraction, shoaling, and breaking. validated against five-year buoy recording. study shows that most provided by sea states heights ranging 2...
Data about storm impacts are essential for the disaster risk reduction process, but unlike data characteristics, they not routinely collected. In this paper, we demonstrate high potential of convolutional neural networks to automatically constitute impact database using timestacks images provided by coastal video monitoring stations. Several network architectures and methods deal with class imbalance were tested on two sites (Biarritz Zarautz) find best practices classification task. This...
