An efficient nonlinear cardinal B-spline model for high tide forecasts at the Venice Lagoon
نویسنده
چکیده
An efficient class of nonlinear models, constructed using cardinal B-spline (CBS) basis functions, are proposed for high tide forecasts at the Venice lagoon. Accurate short term predictions of high tides in the lagoon can easily be calculated using the proposed CBS models.

Venice: sea-lagoon exchange in a modified tide regime.
Salinity and tide heights recorded for a month at P(0), a point in the northern section of the Venetian lagoon, are the basic experimental data used to construct a numerical model which describes the salinity variations at P(0) as a function of the tides measured at the Lido entrance. The time variation of the salinity pattern iss interpreted in terms of a lagoon system in which a freshwater so...
متن کاملA simulation model for the annual fluctuation of Zostera marina biomass in the Venice lagoon
A simulation model was built to describe the growth patterns of Zostera marina in an area in the Venice lagoon. The model tracks changes in the aboveand below-ground biomass and shoot density and is based on data for Zostera biomass, net production and growth rates, chemical-physical parameters and nutrient concentrations in water, sediment and particulate matter. It was assumed that the most i...
متن کاملA FILTERED B-SPLINE MODEL OF SCANNED DIGITAL IMAGES
We present an approach for modeling and filtering digitally scanned images. The digital contour of an image is segmented to identify the linear segments, the nonlinear segments and critical corners. The nonlinear segments are modeled by B-splines. To remove the contour noise, we propose a weighted least q m s model to account for both the fitness of the splines as well as their approximate cur...
متن کاملThe tidal and wind induced hydrodynamics of the composite system Adriatic Sea/Lagoon of Venice
A shallow water hydrostatic 2D hydrodynamic numerical model, based on the boundary conforming coordinate system, was used to simulate aspects of both general and small scale oceanic features occurring in the composite system constituted by the Adriatic Sea and the Lagoon of Venice (Italy), under the influence of tide and realistic atmospheric forcing. Due to a specific technique for the treatme...
متن کاملWind waves in shallow microtidal basins and the dynamic equilibrium of tidal flats
[1] Shallow microtidal basins are characterized by extensive areas of tidal flats that lie within specific ranges of elevation. These landforms are inherently flat and their evolution strongly depends on the balance between sedimentary and erosive processes. Here we present a stochastic point model for tidal flat evolution to study the influence of tidal currents and wind waves on tidal flat eq...
