Utilización de datos de viento de MeteoGalicia para el seguimiento de vertidos en las proximidades de la costa gallega: Comparación con datos medidos por el satélite QuikSCAT

Abstract

[ES] La costa gallega se ha visto afectada regularmente por el vertido de hidrocarburos. La determinación de los puntos de arribada del hidrocarburo así como el tiempo transcurrido desde el vertido es un proceso que debe realizarse de forma casi inmediata para minimizar su efecto sobre los ecosistemas. Es ahí donde cobran especial relevancia los modelos de dispersión de partículas para el seguimiento del crudo, ya que permiten tanto una rápida ejecución como el análisis de diferentes escenarios. Estos modelos, donde el principal forzamiento es el eólico proporcionado por modelos meteorológicos, dependen en gran medida de la precisión de las predicciones meteorológicas. Las predicciones suministradas por MeteoGalicia se comparan con los datos reales medidos por el satélite QuikSCAT, mostrando una alta correlación entre ambas fuentes, aunque los datos de QuikSCAT son de una magnitud ligeramente mayor en alrededor de un 15%

[EN] The Galician coast has suffered the periodic impact of oil spills. Predicting the spill extension, the most probable points of impact and the arrival time is a process that should be carried out immediately to decrease the effect on marine life. In these situations, the use of particle tracking models is very important because they allow a fast execution taking into account different scenarios. These models, where the main forcing is the wind provided by meteorological models, depend to a great extent on the accuracy of meteorological predictions. The prediction provided by MeteoGalicia is compared with real data measured by the QuikSCAT satellite, showing a high correlation between both databases, although QuikSCAT data are slightly higher (about 15%) in magnitude
