Claire O’Neill, UK Met Office, presents the status and advances in marine data and observations for storm surge forecasting at the EMODnet Stakeholder Conference, 14-15 February 2017, Brussels.
Greetings all,
By the end of April 2008, the final meeting of the MERSEA European Project set up in Paris, in the Institut Océanographique.
The aim of the project was to develop a European system for operational monitoring and forecasting on global and regional scales
of the ocean physics, biogeochemistry and ecosystems.
It was surely a challenge to get together many different partners to build the future European operational oceanography of
tomorrow. It was also a challenge for the MERSEA teams to demonstrate their capacity to collect, validate and assimilate remote
sensed and in situ data into ocean circulation models, to interpolate in time and space for uniform coverage, to run nowcasting
(i.e. data synthesis in real-time), forecasting, and hind-casting, and to deliver information products. The project also had to
develop marine applications addressing the needs of both intermediate and end-users, whether institutional or from the private
sector
This Newsletter collects some of the many results obtained during this project. Several aspects are tackled: global and regional
forecasting systems, observations, and applications.
The News is written by the Coordinator of the Project, Yves Desaubies. He draws MERSEA results up.
In a first article, Marie Drévillon et al. present the MERSEA/Mercator-Ocean V2 global ocean analysis and forecasting system. In a
second one, Hervé Roquet et al. describe L3 and L4 high resolution SST products. The next article, written by Bruce Hackett et
al., focuses on Oil spill applications. The article of John Siddorn et al. closes the issue by a description of the development of a
North-East Atlantic tidal NEMO system.
Enjoy your reading!

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

2. WHAT we will show
… and why it’s so interesting:
• Development and implementation of a new Early-Warning System to predict coastal
flooding levels along entire (east) coast of Thailand.
• EWS providing three-day forecasts, generated daily, combine effects of tide, storm surge
and wave setup.
• Based on Delft-FEWS and on open-source software Delft3D Flexible Mesh and SWAN.
• Now used by the Hydro and Agro Informatics Institute (HAII), in Bangkok, to
disseminate coastal predictions.
3. WHY an EWS for Gulf of Thailand?
The Gulf of Thailand (GoT) is periodically affected by typhoon-induced storm surges in the
past (Harriet in 1962, Gay in 1989, Linda in 1997).
Due to increased development in the coastal zone, the combined risk of high water level and
increased rainfall / river discharge has increased and is expected to increase in future due to
climate change.
=> There was a clear need for a real-time operational storm surge, wave and wave setup
forecasting system in the GoT.
Main objectives:
• To provide automatically daily accurate tide, storm surge, wave and wave setup
estimates.
• Every day, three-day coastal forecasts based on the latest regional meteorological
predictions.
• Adding a coastal component to HAII’s existing daily reports on fluvial flood
forecasts for Thailand.
4. And HOW did we achieve it?

9. Software: Hydrodynamics, D-Flow Flexible Mesh
The hydrodynamic module of the Delft3D
Flexible Mesh suite is D-Flow Flexible
Mesh (D-Flow FM), which is used for
hydrodynamic simulations on unstructured
or structured grids, with 1D, 2D or 3D
models.
The D-Flow FM module allows for
spatially-varying (un)structured grids cells,
thereby producing very flexible grids with a
high-resolution in the areas of interest
only, yielding a high computational
efficiency.
See http://oss.deltares.nl/web/delft3dfm.
We used the Delft3D Flexible Mesh model suite, which is the successor the Delft3D 4 model suite
that uses structured grids. These are world leading model suites for simulating hydrodynamics,
sediment transport and morphology and water quality for fluvial, estuarine and coastal
environments with 2D and 3D models.
10. Software: SWAN to simulate short-crested waves
SWAN is a third-generation wave model, of the Delft University of Technology, that computes random,
short-crested wind-generated waves in coastal regions and inland waters.
SWAN accounts for:
• Wave propagation in time and space, shoaling, refraction due to current and depth, frequency
shifting due to currents and non-stationary depth.
• Wave generation by wind.
• Three- and four-wave interactions.
• Whitecapping, bottom friction and depth-induced breaking; Dissipation due to vegetation.
• Transmission through and reflection (specular and diffuse) against obstacles.
• Diffraction (in an approximate, parameterized way).
• Wave-induced set-up.
In short, the model solves the action balance equation, in Cartesian or spherical coordinates, without
any ad hoc assumption on the shape of the wave spectrum.
Nested runs, using 2D wave spectra, from other (larger scale) models can be made with SWAN.
For more info or downloading the SWAN code & documentation, see http://swanmodel.sourceforge.net/
Keep in mind, today’s focus will be on FM
modelling and on FEWS work.

12. Hydrodynamic model development: Purpose
Main objective: “to simulate coastal water levels accurately”.
The D-Flow FM model is in 2DH mode (two-dimensional in the horizontal, depth-
integrated), which is sufficient for this application. Along the coast a high resolution of
approximately 250 by 250 m is applied.
Given the desired purpose, we needed to simulate the following processes:
1. Tidal propagation (tide coming into model from open boundaries);
2. Tidal generation (tidal-generating forces, inside our domain);
3. Surge propagation (external surge entering through boundaries);
4. Surge generation (storm surge generated inside domain);
5. Complex meteorologic fields (time- and spatially-varying wind and pressure);
6. Large-scale (parts of South China Sea, incl. Borneo, Vietnam, Singapore…);
7. Fine-scale (highest detail along Thai coast, incl. estuaries & many small islands);
8. Wetting and drying (intertidal areas included in domain).
13. Modelling work: Overview of Required Data

• Bathymetry fields (i.e. depths)
Forcing:
• Tidal constituents at boundaries
• Meteorological fields (i.e. wind and
air pressure)

14. Shoreline(s)
Several datasets with shoreline information
were obtained:
(i) the NOAA-GSHHG batch covering the
entire world but with less accuracy,
(ii) A local one with higher accuracy covering
mainland Thailand, and
(iii) A local one including all the Thai islands.
After comparison against Google Earth
satellite images, decisions were made on
which data to use where, and datasets
merged such that entire model domain is
covered, optimally.
15. Bathymetry
Tree datasets were used:
1. Digitized nautical charts, based on charts of the Thai Royal Navy;
2. Very fine, recent survey around upper Gulf of Thailand;
3. GEBCO 0.5-min global datasets, publicly available.
All data sets converted to Mean Sea Level (the model’s reference level). All in all, very good “data density”.
16. Observed water level data
17 timeseries obtained in local time zone
(UTC+7h) were converted to UTC
The model is run in UTC and has UTC open
boundary forcing.
17. Measured water levels
Hourly water level data were used in
validation of the hydrodynamic model,
spanning more than 1 year, allowing for
model verification both for long periods and
storm surge events.
An event at the end of March 2011
presented the most interesting conditions,
with consistent high surges among several
stations.
Blue: total water level
Black: tide-only
18. Meteorological forcing
The best option available was NOAA-GFS 1°x1° product,
every 6h.
Three are needed to force the hydrodynamic model at
the surface: (i) eastward wind component (u, in m/s) at
10m from the surface, (ii) northward wind component (v,
in m/s) at 10m from the surface, and (iii) air pressure (in
Pa).
Although this product generally has few gaps, it had
several gaps in March-April 2011 (the main surge event!)
The NOAA-GFS product was used in model
development, though a finer regional model is now used
operationally (produced by HAII).
19. D-Flow FM grid generation
A courant grid is generated automatically, based on the depths.
This allows for optimal, automatically-generated grid which avoids time-step limitation, i.e.
- coarse grid over the deepest waters (4x4 and 8x8km2 cells, in our case);
- fine grid over shallower waters (250x250 and 500x500 m2, in our case).
20. “Large grid”, with ~ 815,000 nodes.
Horizontal resolution
• 250m along Thai coast,
• 1,000m along other coasts,
• 8,000m at deep water.
2000km
22. Model setup: Open Boundaries
Tidal constituents (spatially-varying amplitudes and phases) were obtained from
the Delft Dashboard, which uses the TPXO 7.2 Global Inverse Tide model
database.
Since the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea are complex regions to
model tide, including several amphidromic points and large variations in tidal
amplitude, it is very important to force the boundaries with such a complete and
tested dataset.
A further improvement (iterative process) was made in order to also capture low-
frequency constituent Sa (solar annual), representing the yearly seasonal cycle.
The 13 constituents applied are:
SA, MM, MF, K1, O1, P1, Q1, M2, S2, N2, K2, M4, MS4, MN4
24. D-Flow FM performance
During model development, the D-Flow FM model was run:
- on the Deltares Linux cluster;
- in parallel (on 12 cores).
We’re using a “large grid”, with 815,000 nodes and horizontal resolutions between
8km and 250m.
In the calibration runs (entire year of 2011), the average time-step was 101
seconds.
With this setup, it takes
- 16 hours to simulate 1 year, or
- About 9 minutes to simulate 3 days.
Runtimes can be a little slower when run in other machines.
There was no special reason not to use more cores (e.g. 16, 32, 64 is possible)
25. Model validation: Time series (year long)
total RMSE < 0.15m
total RMSE > 0.15m
Stations that “need attention” already have high goodness-of-fit (R2 > 90%)
and the local bathymetry was identified as the major culprit.
26. Model validation: March 2011 event
• Peak surge caused higher high-waters.
• Very good match between observed and modelled total water level time
series, especially during the peak hours / days.
Water level
Tide-only
Only surge
27. Model validation: Time series and March 2011 event
• Typical stations show the high quality of station Ko Lak (when no issues with local
bathymetry nor with measuring sensor).
• In most cases, even if the shape of the surge is not exactly reproduced, at least the
peak amplitude is captured with minimal phase error.
Water level
Tide-only
Only surge
28. Model validation: Time series (year long)
• How about the seasonal surge patterns? Plotting the 7-day means throughout the year 2011.
• Averaged over the entire year of 2011, the modelled surge is overestimated by about 0.10m. This
tends to zero during the March event described above.
32. Surge sensitivity to the wind drag coefficient
Tests performed by varying the Charnock
parameter, defining how responsive water
levels will be to the wind.
Runs performed with Charnock parameter
values of 0.025, 0.05 and 0.10.
Conclusions:
Relatively small impact on the overall
goodness-of-fit values, and a relatively
small difference in the scatter plot slopes.
While the impact in the surge throughout the
year is limited, the impact is larger during
storm surge events (surge > 0.3m).
33. Conclusions on hydrodynamics
The hydrodynamic model is based on Delft3D Flexible Mesh, a new-
generation numerical modelling framework. The development of the
new hydrodynamic model to simulate tide and storm surge was
described, along with first results.
The major objectives were to
• build an unstructured-grid hydrodynamic model capable of
representing tide and storm surge at a sufficient spatial resolution,
• with manageable runtimes to provide a first operational model in
HAII’s EWS.
The models in the EWS need to be of sufficient quality, otherwise
warnings are too often unreliable.
The model characteristics achieved are very adequate for
the envisaged coastal ocean operational system,
• The fine horizontal resolution and the low run-times,and
• The overall high quality of this first Gulf of Thailand tide-
surge model.

45. Why was this a success?
In one word… “flexibility”!
• The researchers at HAII were very motivated &
capable during on-the-job training.
• Delft3D Flexible Mesh allows for optimal
configuration, resolution and run-times.
• Delft-FEWS modular nature allows for tailor-
made solutions and for all kinds of data exports.
Concluding remarks
We’ve shown
• The new Early-Warning System to predict coastal flooding levels along the Thai coast.
• This system, now used by the Hydro and Agro Informatics Institute (HAII), provides three-day
forecasts, generated daily, combining effects of tide, storm surge and wave setup.
Now what?
• HAII is operating this operational system
independently.
• Given easy “plug-in” options with Delft-FEWS,
HAII may include other new nested models to
represent smaller estuaries, or water quality.
