Improving operational ocean models for the Spanish Port Authorities: assessment of the SAMOA coastal forecasting service upgrades
(MDPI, 2022-02)
Article
Open AccessThe Puertos del Estado SAMOA coastal and port ocean forecast service delivers operational ocean forecasts to the Spanish Port Authorities since 01/2017 (originally set-up for 9 ports). In its second development phase ... -
The economic impact of sea level rise-induced decrease in the carrying capacity of Catalan beaches (NW Mediterranean, Spain)
(2022-03)
Article
Open AccessSea-level rise (SLR)-induced erosion will contribute significantly to the reduction of the surface of beaches worldwide. In the absence of adaptation measures, this implies a decrease in the recreational carrying capacity ... -
COVID-19 impact on maritime traffic and corresponding pollutant emissions. The case of the Port of Barcelona
(2022-02)
Article
Open AccessThe impact of the SARS-CoV pandemic has gone well beyond health concerns, reaching the maritime industry. The study on the environmental impact of shipping industry during COVID-19 pandemic can provide useful insights to ... -
Assessment of harbour inoperability and adaptation cost due to sea level rise: application to the port of Tangier-Med (Morocco)
(2022-01)
Article
Open AccessThis paper intends to assess the potential impacts of the future SLR on the operability of berthing structures and to estimate in monetary terms the adaptation costs to it. To do this, three scenarios of SLR are considered, ... -
Assessing Obukhov length and friction velocity from floating lidar observations: A data screening and sensitivity computation approach
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-03-14)
Article
Open AccessThis work presents a parametric-solver algorithm for estimating atmospheric stability and friction velocity from floating Doppler wind lidar (FDWL) observations close to the mast of IJmuiden in the North Sea. The focus of ... -
Laboratory measurements of the wave-induced motion of plastic particles: influence of wave period, plastic size and plastic density
(Wiley, 2020-12-01)
Article
Open AccessThe transport of plastic particles from inland sources to the oceans garbage patches occurs trough coastal regions where the transport processes depend highly on wave-induced motions. In this study, experimental measurements ... -

(Frontiers Media, 2021-04-01)
Article
Open AccessStorm Gloria was the 10th named storm in Europe for the 2019–2020 winter season, and it severely affected Spain and France. This powerful storm represents an excellent study case to analyze the capabilities of the different ... -
Quasi-dynamic mooring line model
(2022-01-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe quasi-dynamic mooring line model is a new approach to assess the mooring line tension that considers the static solution of the catenary shape, but updates the distributed vertical force along the mooring line as a ... -
Short-term response of chlorophyll a concentration due to intense wind and freshwater peak episodes in estuaries: The case of fangar Bay (Ebro Delta)
(2021-03-05)
Article
Open AccessEstuaries and coastal bays are areas of large spatio-temporal variability in physical and biological variables due to environmental factors such as local wind, light availability, freshwater inputs or tides. This study ... -
Formulating wave overtopping at vertical and sloping structures with shallow foreshores using deep-water wave characteristics
(2021-11)
Article
Open AccessThe state-of-the-art formulas for mean wave overtopping (q) assessment typically require wave conditions at the toe of the structure as input. However, for structures built either on land or in very shallow water, obtaining ... -
Understanding sea level processes during Western Mediterranean storm Gloria
(Frontiers Media, 2021-06-08)
Article
Open AccessIn January 2020, the storm Gloria hit the Western Mediterranean Sea causing severe coastal damages, destruction of infrastructures, flooding and several casualties. This extreme event was characterized by strong Eastern ...
