Coastal Applications
FOCCUS will demonstrate the added value for 3 environmental societal challenges (ESCs)
POLLUTION HAZARD/ RISK MAPPING
1. DCSM-FM (Dutch Continental Shelf Model)
Three-dimensional model of the North Sea/Dutch Continental Shelf which combines state-of-the-art capabilities for modelling of water levels (tide and surge) as well as (residual) transport phenomena. The latter is crucial for application in water quality and ecological modelling. Read more
2. OSERIT
Simulation tool for forecasting and backtracking oil spill drift in the Southern North Sea, focusing on pollution hazard/risk mapping for improved coastal management and protection. Read more
COASTAL EROSION DYNAMICS ASSESSMENT
3. AdriFS ( Adriatic Forecasting System)
Ocean model simulating the short-term hydrodynamic and wave forecasts for the Adriatic Sea focusing on coastal erosion management and protection. Read more
4. GCoast-GB
Model system for water and energy fluxes between atmosphere and ocean via dynamic wave interface; includes land-ocean transition dynamics, marine ecosystems, benthic-pelagic coupling, and pollutant transport/transformation for German coastal waters, supporting multi-use coastal and offshore operations to boost the blue economy. Read more
5. GCoast-BS
Model system for water and energy fluxes between atmosphere and ocean via dynamic wave interface; includes land-ocean transition dynamics, marine ecosystems, benthic-pelagic coupling, and pollutant transport/transformation for Western Black Sea, supporting multi-use coastal and offshore operations to boost the blue economy.
