This application shows some important points of the ports in a map, where a 3-day forecast is shown for the following parameters:
Sea Level
Waves
Currents
Salinity
Water Temp.
On every point thresholds can be defined in order to show different colors depending on the threshold alert value defined by the user:
- green: the forecast value is OK
- yellow: the forecast has a high value
- red: the forecast has a too high value
Alerts can also be defined for points and every day an e-mail or SMS will be sent containing information about the point. The alert can be defined as a combination of different parameters.
Corpernicus Marine Service Products
>>> Service Generated using E.U. Copernicus Marine Service Information
The mobile application is capable of exploiting the high resolution models and alert system developed by Puertos del Estado on top of Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) Products.
Puertos del Estado has already developed its high resolution models nested into CMEMS products. The resulting downstream service is stored in a proprietary database that will be accessed in order to gather the necessary information and to present this information in the mobile application to the end user.
Specific data sets used in Environmental Control Panel App are:
- Mediterranean Sea Waves Analysis and Forecast (MEDSEA_ANALYSIS_FORECAST_WAV_006_017 )
- Mediterranean Sea Physics Analysis and Forecast (MEDSEA_ANALYSIS_FORECAST_PHY_006_013)
- Atlantic-Iberian Biscay Irish- Ocean Wave Analysis and Forecast
(IBI_ANALYSIS_FORECAST_WAV_005_005) - Atlantic-Iberian Biscay Irish- Ocean Physics Analysis and Forecast (IBI_ANALYSIS_FORECAST_PHYS_005_001)
Every day data from Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) Products is taken and based on them the 3-day prediction is calculated and stored. This application allows users to watch this information at the quickest of glances and take actions depending on it.
Areas of Benefits
The application will be extremely useful for the following Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service areas of benefit:
Weather seasonal forecasting and climate
Based on forecast alerts sent by the application, port management could be improved.
