UPDATE AND CONSOLIDATION OF OBSERVATIONAL DATASETS TO ENSURE THE MONITORING OF THE EVOLUTION OF COASTAL SYSTEMS MarRISK Project Goal: Consolidation of a knowledge infrastructure for evaluating coastal risks in the Galicia-North Portugal Euroregion. STANDARDIZATION - Use of common vocabularies in all metadatabases to avoid ambiguities: British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC), Climate & Forecast (CF 1.6) - Use of common data formats towards consistency and interoperability - Observed sea level NORTH-PORTUGAL COAST - Sea water velocity - Sea water direction -Sea water velocity - Sea water direction HOMOGENIZATION OF DATASETS - Maintaining common quality standards (SeaDataNet recommendations) - Acquiring consistency - Ensuring reliability A multi-disciplinary consortium of experts in Marine Sciences from the Galicia and North-Portugal Euroregion has put together more than 300 variables at the disposal of MarRISK project for a better understanding of coastal and oceanic characteristics and vulnerabilities. OPERATIONAL OBSERVATION NETWORKS Transects Water sampling Mooring buoys Bathymetries Drifters CTDs HF Radar Meteorological stations GALICIAN COAST - Temperature - Precipitation - Wind speed - Wind gust - Wind direction - Atmospheric pressure - Solar radiation - Relative humidity Tide gauges - Sea water velocity - Sea water direction ADCPs OUTCOMES - Capability of sharing and using data from different sources for selecting environmental indicators for the evaluation of coastal risks in the Galicia-North Portugal Euroregion PROJECT ACTIONS RADIALES - Pressure - Temperature - Salinity - pH - Oxygen - Wave height - Current direction - Current magnitude - Relative humidity - Wind speed - Wind gust - Salinity - pH - Nitrate - Nitrite - Ammonium - Phosphate - Silicate - Salinity - pH - Nitrate - Nitrite - Ammonium - Phosphate - Silicate - Conductivity - Temperature - Depth - Salinity - Pressure - Dissolved oxygen - Fluorescence - Density - Conductivity - Temperature - Depth - Salinity - Pressure - Dissolved oxygen - Fluorescence - Density ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: This contribution has been funded by the European Union MarRISK project: Adaptación costera ante el Cambio Climático: conocer los riesgos y aumentar la resiliencia (0262_MarRISK_1_E), through EP-INTERREG V A España-Portugal (POCTEP) program. www.poctep.eu/es/2014-2020/marrisk CHALLENGES: - Spatial distributions: sites, profiles, trajectories, grids - Temporal distribution, frequency and time series - Diverse sampling approaches: manually, automatically, ships, platforms, etc. - Quality control of data HARMONIZATION OF DATA TIME SERIES FOR THE EVALUATION OF COASTAL RISKS IN THE GALICIA - NORTH PORTUGAL EUROREGION Vila, B. 1 *, Macho-Eiras, M.L. 2 , Taboada, J. 2 , Allen-Perkins, S. 1 , Almécija, C. 3 , Álvares, M.T. 4 , Ayensa, G. 1 , Baptista, P. 5 , Bastero, S.F. 6 , Bastos, L. 7 , Bernabeu, A.M. 8 , Bernardes, C. 5 , Bio, A. 7 , Cardona, F. 4 , Carracedo, P. 2 , Castro, C.G. 6 , Coelho,C. 9 , Doval, M.D. 1 , Dubert, J. 5 , Fernándéz-Fernández, S. 5 , Gayoso, A. 10 , Jorge da Silva, A. 11 , Magalhães, C.M. 7 , Mohamed, K.J. 8 , Montero, P. 1 , Mota-Lopes, A. 4 , Padin, X.A. 6 , Piedracoba, S. 3 , Pinho, J. 12 , Pinto, J.P. 11 , Ruiz-Villarreal, M. 13 , Santos, A.M.P. 14 , Silva, A. 14 , Silva, M.J. 4 , Silva, P.A. 5 , Torres-López,S. 3 MarRISK group: 1 INTECMAR, Vilagarcía de Arousa; 2 MeteoGalicia, Santiago de Compostela; 3 CETMAR, Vigo; 4 APA, Amadora; 5 CESAM, Aveiro; 6 IIM-CSIC, Vigo, 7 CIIMAR, Universidade do Porto; 8 GEOMA - Universidade de Vigo; 9 Universidade de Aveiro; 10 LMAG, Pontevedra; 11 IH, Lisboa; 12 Universidade do Minho, Braga; 13 IEO-A Coruña; 14 IPMA, Lisboa. *[email protected]
