MAMA Malta meeting, 27-30 January 2004 • Workpackage-4: MAMA-Model: • Preliminary results from new models implementations • Problems in accomplishing the exchange visit program
Models currently implemented and status of the exchange visit program INSTM – A. Harzallah and A.Gharbi (Tunisia): Sicily Strait (A. Gharbi stage at CIRSA accomplished) FSR – M. Snoussi and J. Chao (Morocco) Alboran Sea (Problems for J. Chao stage at CIRSA) ISMAR-CNR – G. Umgiesser and I. Scroccaro (Italy): Nador Lagoon (co-operation with FSR established) NCMS – N. Kabbara (Lebanon): Lebanese coastal area (2 stages at IMC accomplished)
INSTM: Sicily Strait Development from An earlier implementation Increased resolution in the Tunisian Coastal areas. Improved bathymetry Model Grid and Surface salinity Field (MED6)
1 Year simulation accomplished with: • Monthly varying climatological surface forcing fields • Nesting with the MFSPP OGCM Temperature Salinity
Surface velocity Barotropic velocity
FSR Alboran Sea Model domain About 5 km horizontal resolution 15 σ layers vertical resolution system
FSR Alboran Sea Model. Bathymetry from DBDB1
J. Chao stage at CIRSA planned for July 2003……… Italian Consulate in Casablanca did not release the Visa Visit re-scheduled for October 2003…… Still waiting for the visa!!!!!!! No explanation for this delay provided by the Consulate (they just stay silent……..)
ISMAR-CNR. Nador lagoon Tool: finite element model (SHYFEM) To be nested with the FSR Alboran Sea model
ISMAR-CNR. Nador lagoon The nesting with the FSR Alboran Sea model
First result of the Model (new grid) forced with ENE wind of 5 m/s
NCMS. Lebanese coasta area Resolution: 1.5 km, 16 sigma layers Nesting with MFSPP Alermo model Monthly varying Surface forcing functions 3 Years simulation
Salinity: June Salinity December
