OUTLINE

1. Introduction: The RAIA project

2. The datasets

3. Subtidal processes

4. Supratidal processes: wavelet analysis

5. Prospects


INTRODUCTION: RAIA Project

OBJECTIVE:

to implement a cross-border oceanographic observatory for the NW Iberian Peninsula,

which allows the consolidation of operational oceanographyin the Iberian margin, creating new scientific and

technological opportunities and fostering marine andmaritime economy


Lying on three pillars:

1. OBSERVATION

2. MODELLING

3. DISSEMINATION

THE DATASETS


2. The datasets: T, S, P, Met, currents…



5. Prospects


THE DATASETS


THE DATASETS

• 3 year-long time series of seawater temperatureat Rande Strait

• Sampling period = 10 min

• Very few gaps, good quality

• Two different depths: surface and bottom


THE DATASETS

• Seasonal variability

• Upwelling-Downwelling processes

• Thermal inversion in winter



2. The datasets



5. Prospects


SUPRATIDAL PROCESSES


WAVELET ANALYSIS


PROSPECTS

1. Vertical differences (three depths)

2. Spatial differences (Inner Ria vs. Shelf)

3. Meteorological forcing: time of response

4. Turbulent scales
