Motivation

THE INFORMATION SUPPORTS:

-PORT CONSTRUCTION-PORT INFRASTRUCTURES MAINTENANCE -PORT ACCESS-PORT EFFICIENCY-PORT SAFETY OPERATIONS-PORT EMERGENCE RESPONSE-PORT ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

MotivationOBJETIVE

Provide to the Spanish Port Authorities of a high-resolution coastal operational predictionsystem that simulates the hydrodynamic in the Spanish Ports and nearby coastal waters.

FUTURE PLANS

To improve the SAMOA system to refine and increase the quality of the numericpredictions, validating and calibrating the System from field campaigns datasetand observations.

To provide the Spanish Port Authorities of a high-resolution coastal operationalprediction system that accurately simulates the hydrodynamic in the SpanishMediterranean Ports.
