Zusammenfassung |
This paper presents the structure and application of a regional scale
operational modelling tool for the West Iberian coast, and discusses its
potential for products and services for both scientific and coastal
management activities. The forecasting suite includes nested hydrodynamic
models forced with up-to-date meteorological forecast data and large-scale
model results. The present status of the system and its recent upgrades are
reviewed, offering a general description of the main components of the
system: the forcing data, the circulation model, the model outputs and the
validation methodology of model results. Seasonal differences in
temperature, salinity and current velocity fields are illustrated and show
satisfactory reproduction of the top and deep layer thermodynamics. The
system provides boundary forcing for a number of local-scale model
applications via downscaling of the solution and enables potential products
and services from which civil society will benefit. |
