Characterization of bottom sediment resuspension events observed in a micro-tidal bay
(2019-03)
Article
Open AccessIn this study we investigate the variability in near-bottom turbidity in Alfacs Bay (in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea). The bay is characterized by a micro-tidal environment and seiching activity that may lead to flow ... -
CMEMS-based coastal analyses: conditioning, coupling and limits for applications
(2021-03)
Article
Open AccessRecent advances in numerical modeling, satellite data, and coastal processes, together with the rapid evolution of CMEMS products and the increasing pressures on coastal zones, suggest the timeliness of extending such ... -
Comparison between nested grids and unstructured grids for a high-resolution wave forecasting system in the western Mediterranean sea
(2017-01)
Article
Open AccessTraditionally wave modelling uses a downscaling process by means of successive nested grids to obtain high-resolution wave fields near the coast. This supposes an uncertain error due to internal boundary conditions and a ... -

Environmental management system for the analysis of oil spill risk using probabilistic simulations: application at Tarragona monobuoy
(2020-04)
Article
Open AccessOil spill accidents during port operations are one of the main hydrocarbon pollution threats for coastal waters. Appropriate environmental risk assessment and pollution events management tools are needed to achieve ... -
Estabilización de la superfície libre en la solución de ecuaciones shallow -water por elementos finitos. Aplicaciones oceanográficas
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 1994-07-11)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessEl movimiento del mar (corrientes, olas...) es un factor determinante de las condiciones ambientales del medio marino. Estas condiciones son alteradas por las actuaciones humanas mediante la construcción de diques o ... -
Finite element approximation of 3D non-hydrostatic turbulent coastal ocean flows using a LES model
(2008-01-07)
Article
Open AccessIn this paper we present a stabilized finite element method for three-dimensional, non-hydrostatic, turbulent coastal ocean flows. The model we have developed, named HELIKE, incorporates also surface wind stress, bottom ... -
Hydrodynamic response in a microtidal and shallow bay under energetic wind and seiche episodes
(2015-09)
Article
Open AccessIn this contribution we investigate the hydrodynamic response in a micro-tidal and shallow semi-enclosed domain. We chose a set of observations which include currents, hydrography and meteorological data obtained in Alfacs ... -

(2020-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis study investigates the hydrographic variability and the estuarine classification obtained from a set of field campaign data in Inhambane Bay (Mozambique). In situ measured salinity, temperature and sea-level data, ... -
Incorporation of continental and urban run-off into a coastal circulation model: application to the Catalan coast
(2012)
Conference report
Open AccessA 3D hydrodynamical model has been set up to incorporate the continental and urban run-off into the Catalan Coastal waters. Particular attention was paid to introducing correctly the freshwater plumes and attention was ... -
