Evaluation of earth system models outputs over the continental Portuguese coast...
Pereira, Humberto; Picado, Ana; Sousa, Magda C.; Alvarez, Ines; Dias, João M.In the last decades, climate change has been accelerating, affecting, directly and indirectly, the environment, animal habitats, and daily human life. Earth System Models (ESMs) are valuable tools for studying these impacts, and their performance over coastal regions is critical for understanding how physical and biogeochemical processes are evolving through time and how they may change in the future. The conti...
Comparing Admission Control Architectures for Real-Time Ethernet
Alvarez, Ines; Moutinho, Luis; Pedreiras, Paulo; Bujosa, Daniel; Proenza, Julian; Almeida, LuisIndustry 4.0 and Autonomous Driving are emerging resource-intensive distributed application domains that deal with open and evolving environments. These systems are subject to stringent resource, timing, and other non-functional constraints, as well as frequent reconfiguration. Thus, real-time behavior must not preclude operational flexibility. This combination is motivating ongoing efforts within the Time Sens...
Unusual circulation patterns of the rias baixas induced by minho freshwater int...
Sousa, Magda Catarina; Mendes, Renato; Alvarez, Ines; Vaz, Nuno; Gomez-Gesteira, Moncho; Dias, João MiguelThe Minho River, situated 30 km south of the Rias Baixas, is the most important freshwater source flowing into the Western Galician coast (NW of the Iberian Peninsula). The buoyancy generated by the Minho estuarine plume can reverse the normal circulation pattern inside the Rias Baixas affecting the exchange between the Rias and the ocean, changing the input of nutrients. Nevertheless, this inversion of the cir...
Chlorophyll concentration along the northwestern coast of the Iberian Peninsula...
Picado, Ana; Alvarez, Ines; Vaz, Nuno; Dias, João M.The aim of this work is to investigate the relationship between the atmosphere-ocean-land conditions and chlorophyll a (Chl-a) formation along the northwestern coast of the Iberian Peninsula. Spatial and temporal distribution of Chl-a concentration, sea surface temperature, surface winds and rivers discharge were analyzed from 1998 to 2007, using remote sensing data. Generally, the Chl-a concentrations are high...
Effect of Minho estuarine plume on Rias Baixas: numerical modeling approach
Sousa, Magda C.; Vaz, Nuno; Alvarez, Ines; Dias, João M.The Minho River, situated 30 km south from the Rias Baixas, is the most important freshwater source flowing into the Western Galician coast. This discharge is particularly important in driving the circulation and hydrography of this coastal region. To study this important issue, numerical modeling may constitute an important tool being used to understand the coastal plume effects under different conditions. The...
