3. VALIDATION • HR-OOM Calibration/validation of COAWST • Bottom friction coefficient • Horizontal and vertical turbulence models Calibration/validation of TESEO • HR-OSM • Transport module: wind drag, wave and diffusion coefficients • Weathering module: weathering coefficients
3. VALIDATION • HR-OOM Calibration/validation of COAWST • Data: • Permanent tide gauge operated by PdE located in the entrance of the Bay • River flow: flow meter operated by CHC (0.5 m3/s (summer camp.); 4.1 m3/s (winter camp.)) • Hydrodynamic campaigns: (1) Summer (17/07/2012 – 06/08/2012); (2) Winter (07/03/2013 – 25/03/2013) • Equipment: • Tide gauges • Micro-pressuresensors • Currentprofilers • Temperatureand salinitysensors
3. VALIDATION • HR-OOM Calibration/validation of COAWST • METHOD • To obtain the optimal hydrodynamic model parameters, comparing modeled results with observed values • Statistical descriptors: root mean square error (RMSE), correlation index (ρ) and the skill index. Winter campaign(2013)
Depth integrated current Sea level
3. VALIDATION • HR-OOM Calibration/validation of COAWST Summer campaign; Equipment: Aquadop (C3). a) Free surface elevation; b) depth average current velocity.
