DIAVLOS launches North Aegean Forecasting
In the framework of DIAVLOS project forecasting tools of the oceanic and atmospheric conditions were developed in the North Aegean region.They are implemented and coupled with the oil spill dispersion management tool at the Bourgas-Alexandroupolis oil-pipe terminal. DIAVLOS forecast includes short-term high-resolution atmospheric , wave and ocean circulation modeling systems
The project involves the development and implementation of a very high-resolution ocean circulation model that provides 4-days oceanic forecasting in the North Aegean Sea. The forecasting model is nested in the ALERMO forecasting system (Aegean-Levantine System) that is a component of the Mediterranean Operational Oceanography Network (MOON) monitoring and forecasting system. The North Aegean forecasting tool is based on the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) and has a horizontal resolution of about one nautical mile. It is forced by the SKIRON atmospheric forecasting system (1/20 degrees resolution).
North Aegean atmospheric and wave forecast, in the framework of DIAVLOS project, is based on the SKIRON 5-days weather forecast and 60-hours wave forecast. All systems are integrated and connected with the oil spill dispersion management tool (MyDIAVLOS) at the Bourgas-Alexandroupolis oil-pipe terminal.
Surface forecasting fields in the North Aegean are available on DIAVLOS webpage.
