Operational forecast framework applied to extreme sea levels 1 at regional and ...
Fortunato, A. B.; Oliveira, A.; Rogeiro, J.; Costa, R.; Gomes, J. L.; Li., K; Jesus, G.; Freire, P.; Rilo, Ana; Mendes, A.; Rodrigues, M.; Azevedo, A.The design, implementation and demonstration of a novel and generic computational forecast framework for multi-scale prediction of extreme sea levels and associated flooding is presented. Denoted Water Information Forecast Framework (WIFF), it integrates process-based models for waves, tides and surges from regional to local scales, predicting the flooding of coastal areas, and supporting the routine and emerge...
Online monitoring in the Tagus estuary: Parque das Nações station - Installatio...
Rodrigues, M.; Freire, P.; Rogeiro, J.; Fortunato, A. B.This report describes the design and installation of the Parque das Nações online monitoring station and the procedures relative to its maintenance and data verification undertaken between January 2016 and February 2017. This station is equipped with a SEBA MPS D3 multiparameter probe, which measures water levels, conductivity and water temperature, and a SEBA Slimcom2 data logger, for data acquisition and tran...
Scale issues in local vulnerability assessment: implications in risk and urban ...
Santos, P.; Tavares, A.; Freire, P.; Rilo, AnaThe assessment of vulnerability provides valuable knowledge in the risk assessment steps of a risk governance process. Given the multiscale, multilevel and multisectorial aspects of flood risk, the diversified entities that directly and indirectly intervene in risk management require specific outputs from the assessment studies. Vulnerability assessment methodologies should, therefore, produce the most adequate...
Project Molines: Modelling floods in estuaries. From the hazard to the critical...
Freire, P.; Fortunato, A. B.; Rilo, Ana; Li., K; Costa, R.; Oliveira, A.; Jesus, G.; Gomes, J. L.; Rogeiro, J.; Pinto, P.; Cardoso, M. A.The final technical report of the project “MOLINES - Modelling floods in estuaries. From the hazard to the critical management” (ref. PTDC/AAG-MAA/2811/2012) is presented. The project was funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia) and took place between 2013 and 2016. The MOLINES project aims at improving knowledge on estuarine margins inundatio...
The effect of storm events in the Tagus estuarine margins
Freire, P.; Fortunato, A. B.; Rodrigues, M.; Santos, P.; Rilo, Ana; Tavares, A.Floods in estuaries can be forced by factors associated to ocean and inland sources. In the particular case of the Tagus estuary, the water level variability is mostly driven by tides and storm surges. One of the most recent flood events with the greatest impact in this estuary occurred on February 2010 associated with the passage of the Xynthia storm by the Portuguese coast. In the present study this flood eve...
Characterization of the hydro-agricultural development of the Lezíria Grande de...
Rodrigues, M.; Freire, P.; Fortunato, A. B.; Alves, E.The agricultural area of the Lezíria Grande de Vila Franca de Xira is part of one of the case studies at the Tagus Research Site, in the scope of the BINGO project (Horizon 2020). Thus, as a support for the characterization of this area, three exploratory visits were performed to the agricultural area of the upper Tagus estuary, and in particular to the irrigation area of the Lezíria Grande de Vila Franca de Xi...
Plataforma integrada WebSIG para apoio à gestão da emergência em eventos de inu...
Oliveira, A.; Rogeiro, J.; Gomes, J. L.; Pinto, P.; Fortunato, A. B.; Freire, P.; Costa, R.; Sá, L.; Pablo, R.; Mendes, A.A inundação das margens estuarinas deve-se normalmente a condições meteooceanográficas extremas, nomeadamente níveis elevados de maré, grandes descargas fluviais e tempestades marítimas. Muitas cidades localizam-se em margens estuarinas, estando assim vulneráveis a inundações, problema que é agravado pelas alterações climáticas. Para apoiar a gestão do risco e da resposta a estes eventos, desenvolveu-se uma pla...
Inundação das margens do estuário do Tejo: o caso da tempestade de fevereiro de...
Fortunato, A. B.; Freire, P.; Bertin, X.; Rodrigues, M.; Liberato, M.; Ferreira, J.A margem sul do estuário do Tejo é composta por extensas áreas com cotas baixas, logo suscetíveis a inundações. A determinação da perigosidade associada a estas inundações é por isso fundamental para a gestão territorial. Uma das mais graves inundações do último século ocorreu em 15 de fevereiro de 1941, existindo poucos dados quantitativos sobre o evento. Este trabalho vem colmatar esta lacuna através da imple...
Salinity evolution in the Tagus estuary relative to climate change
Rodrigues, M.; Fortunato, A. B.; Freire, P.Climate change represents a potential threat for estuaries, via potential landward intrusion of saltwater, inundation of low-lying areas, acceleration in the nutrients cycling and disruption of aquatic ecosystems. The Tagus estuary, one of the largest estuaries in Europe, holds a major natural reserve and supports diverse activities, some of which may be negatively affected by the landward intrusion of saltwate...
Optimal generation scheduling of wind-CSP systems in day-ahead electricity markets
Pousinho, Hugo Miguel Inácio; Freire, P.; Esteves, João; Mendes, Victor; Cabrita, Carlos Pereira; Collares-Pereira, ManuelThis paper presents a coordination approach to maximize the total profit of wind power systems coordinated with concentrated solar power systems, having molten-salt thermal energy storage. Both systems are effectively handled by mixed-integer linear programming in the approach, allowing enhancement on the operational during non-insolation periods. Transmission grid constraints and technical operating constraint...
