Restricted access - publisher's policyO objectivo deste trabalho é fazer a caracterização da agitação marítima ao largo de Maputo. Na ausência de dados de bóias e dados visuais que permitissem executar uma caracterização da agitação a longo prazo optou-se pela ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -

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 ... -
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 ... -

Open AccessAquest article presenta tres projectes que han contribuït a desenvolupar noves eines per a millorar el projecte d’estructures i actuacions d’enginyeria civil a la zona costanera. L’objectiu és plantejar com es poden fer ... -
Meteo-oceanographic simulations and observations to assess the potential of offshore wind farm in a NW Mediterranean shelf
(Coastal Education Research Foundation (CERF), Coastal Processes Research Group, School of Marine Science and Engineering, Plymouth University, 2013)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyRenewable marine energy is important in squeezed Mediterranean coastal zones. Wind turbines deployed over the narrow Catalan continental shelf require accurate wind/wave/current fields for a reliable design, operation and ... -
Modeling circulation patterns induced by spatial cross-shore wind variability in a small-size coastal embayment
(2016-08)
Article
Open AccessThis contribution shows the importance of the cross-shore spatial wind variability in the water circulation in a small-sized micro-tidal bay. The hydrodynamic wind response at Alfacs Bay (Ebro River delta, NW Mediterranean ... -
Modelling assessment of the tidal stream resource in the Ria of Ferrol (NW Spain) using a year-long simulation
(Elsevier, 2019-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe availability of tidal stream energy in the Ría of Ferrol (NW Spain) has been assessed using a long term hydrodynamic simulation (351 days). A priori, a strait in the central part of the estuary seems a promising site ... -
Numerical simulation of the dispersion of contaminants by a characteristic-based method with applications to the Ebro delta and the Huelva estuary
(2004)
Article
Open AccessIn this paper we consider an explicit, characteristic-based method for the numerical simulation of the dispersion of contaminants in a fluid medium. A quasi-3D formulation is employed for the spatial approximation. Two ... -
Ocean–atmosphere–wave characterisation of a wind jet (Ebro shelf, NW Mediterranean Sea)
(University of Thechnology and Agriculture Nicholas Copernicus University, 2016-05)
Article
Open AccessIn this contribution the wind jet dynamics in the northern margin of the Ebro River shelf (NW Mediterranean Sea) are investigated using coupled numerical models. The study area is characterised by persistent and energetic ... -
Operational forecasting as a tool for managing pollutant dispersion and recovery
(2016)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe fate and concentration of plastic pollutants in coastal seas depends on meteo-oceanographic factors and the multiple entry points in the domain. This will in turn control the implications for water quality, transmission ... -
