Issue Date: | 2011 | Publisher: | Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya | Journal: | Instrumentation viewpoint | Abstract: | More than 500 drifting buoys were deployed during the period of 1998 – 2010 in the Macaronesian region. The study of their trajectories has provided a good knowledge about the surface current system in this area. All this information has been implemented into a model intended to cover marine emergency situations in the Macaronesian archipelagos, such as search and rescue operations and pollut- ant dispersal. The aim is to develop an Operational System, based in the combina- tion of observations and analyses of oceanographic data with numerical simula- tion, in order to predict the drifting objects trajectories | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/75205 | ISSN: | 1886-4864 | Source: | Instrumentation ViewPoint [ISSN 1886-4864], n. 11, p. 27 | URL: | http://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/articulo?codigo=7516361 |
