Abstract:

The main component of the proposed project (COSMOMAR) is to develop a multidisciplinary remote sensing center for the coastal surveillance as a main tool of ICZM implementation (ocean/marine governance, environmental conservation and protection) on the Romanian coastal zone.

The environmental surveillance component includes long terms analysis of the historical and continuous/daily-basis RS data on the marine and coastal environment of the Black Sea, together with sinergic RS field validation technology deveolopement and implementation for high-resolution measurements performed both using in situ and remotely sensing devices, such as autonomous automatic sensor stations and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) for the monitoring of the coastal and marine areas. As main module related to the enhancement environmental modeling support and assessment and it has as objective to implement a complex assimimlation scheme for a joint system based on numerical models for coastal driving factors, such as hydrometeorological (winds, waves and currents) and hydro-bio-geomorphological factors, as main driving factor for coastal environmental status. In this way the interactions between the three domains of land, sea and atmosphere could be better investigated at its interface. Such a complex observatory system have been applied for diferent space scales from the entire Romanian Black Sea to small shallow water basins, with complex configurations, within built shore for its good state of conservation.

Abstract:

GIS methods and tools for the spatial data analysis integration can provide a crucial understanding in the selection process of the marine and coastal protection policies/solutions, and can be the engine of an operational ecosystem-based management.

The present joint project within PN2 Program environmental science domain, propose a complex approach of the geographic informatic system optimized in an innovative manner by the Data-Warehouse methodology and business intelligence tools applied for the control of the coastal ecological processes - it is intended as a continuation at a superior level of the project PN2-32164/2008, acronim "IMAGIS". Project aim is to establish a scientific and technological network for the implementation of an integrated informational system, to support the ICZM activities, for an effective protection, conservation and rehabilitation of coastal the ecosystem of the Romanian Black Sea area.

The main objective is to work in the operational sector to provide near-real/real time marine and coastal meteo-hydro-bio-geomorphologic data and information in order to increase the control and awareness capacity at regional scale, as well to integrate the modern technologies for geodatabase access by an Environmental Data Portal.

The project end products will be gradually extended covering an exhaustive ecological vulnerability assessment by in situ measurements/experiments and coastal monitoring. Thus, main charted results of the project are related to the near-real time physical/chemical and biological processes data/monitoring system connected to an GIS with a Warning Extensions over the coastal ecological state hourly upgradeable for the certain representative pilot sites of the project, specific recommendations for an Ecological risk management plan, as well for the ICZM Plan of action in the Romanian coastal zone.

Data Assimilation Methods for improving the WAVE predictions in the Romanian nearshore of the Black Sea – DAMWAVE Call name: Exploratory Research Projects - PCE-2012 call

Abstract:

The present project is aiming towards the development of data assimilation procedures able to improve the wave predictions in the Black Sea basin and in the subsequent computational domains towards the Romanian nearshore. Such a system would provide a better decision support in various situations that can be associated with the usual coastal operations. Assimilation of the wave data is presently an issue of interest supported by the better accuracy and increased resolution of the altimeters that are operating at this moment. In a first approach, the proposed system will be implemented using hindcast wave data in order to provide reanalysis wave fields with higher accuracy. Multi-satellite significant wave heights as for example those provided by http://www.aviso.oceanobs.com, will be considered at this level. A further target would be to implement effective methodologies that would be able to increase also the accuracy of the nowcast and forecast products. Altimeter data from the European Space Agency will be used at this second step. Sequential procedures based on the improved successive corrections and the optimal interpolation methods will be implemented and evaluated in parallel. Alternatively, more complex methods will be also tested, as those based on the Kalman filtering. A balance between the accuracy of the wave predictions and the computational time required by the data assimilation method will be also considered in adopting the final procedure.
