Pre-operational Modeling of the Rio de la Plata – Rio Uruguay System • Motivation: Improve the fluvial-maritime navigation and regional environmental management in the Rio de la Plata – Rio Uruguay System. • General Objective: Develop an operational system capable of predicting sea level variations and currents. • Astronomic Tide Global Tidal Atlas (FES 2004) Regional Hydrodynamic Model (MOHID) Local Hydrodynamic Model (MOHID) Detailed Hydrodynamic Model (RMA 10) • Wind & Atmospheric Pressure Global Atmospheric Model (GFS) Regional Atmospheric Model (WRF)
Pre-operational Modeling of the Rio de la Plata – Rio Uruguay System • Master Thesis • Evaluate the existing model • Review and redefine the implementation characteristics of the hydrodynamic model in order to get better results • Main Problem • Lack of measurements to contrast with the model results
