The purpose of this work is to carry out a comprehensive study on the Western Iberian Margin (WIM) circulation my means of numerical modeling, and to postulate what this circulation will be in the future. The adopted approach was the development of a regional ocean model configuration with high resolution, capable of reproducing the largeand small-scale dynamics of the coastal transition zone. Four numerical ex...
Shoreline change in the Espinho area (northwest Portugal) is a chronic problem. The present study takes advantage of geographical information system (GIS) tools to contribute to the knowledge of the geologic and geomorphological dynamics of the Espinho shoreline. A GIS-based monitoring project was compiled, which gathers information on all coastal works located along the Espinho shoreline, focusing especially o...
A actividade de mesoscala é comum em todo o oceano. Os fenómenos que estão na sua génese estão intimamente interligados com a circulação geral, pelo que é muito importante compreender aprofundadamente os mecanismos que lhe são associados. Os vórtices de mesoscala são estruturas rotativas que resultam da estratificação do oceano e consequentes situações de instabilidade. Este trabalho consiste num estudo estatís...
