Climatology and nutrient fluxes in the Tagus estuary: A coupled model application
de Pablo, Hilda; Sobrinho, João; Nunes, Susana; Correia, Alexandre; Neves, Ramiro; Gaspar, MiguelRivers are responsible for the main transport of nutrients from land to estuaries and coastal areas. Understanding the fate of these anthropogenic inputs and their impacts on estuaries and adjacent marine ecosystems is essential for the protection of coastal waters. Here, the 3D MOHID hydrodynamic model coupled with a biogeochemical model was used to determine seasonal nutrient fluxes between areas of the Tagus...
The influence of the river discharge on residence time, exposure time and integ...
de Pablo, Hilda; Sobrinho, João; Garaboa-Paz, Daniel; Fonteles, Caio; Neves, Ramiro; Gaspar, MiguelUnderstanding how long water is retained in an estuary and how quickly it is completely flushed is essential to estimate an estuary's health in areas with significant pollutant loadings. The present study analyses the effect of five different Tagus River discharge scenarios ranging from low to extreme on residence time (RT), exposure time (ET) and integrated water fractions inside pre-established Tagus estuary ...
