چکیده

Forecasting the water level at Venice lagoon has been object of extensive studies in the past. For example, the numerical model (MIKE 21) based on deterministic equations has been setup for the purposes of the operational water level forecast. The model includes all the fundamental modelling components necessary for use in operational mode and model has been tested against a number of historical storms. This paper describes a somewhat alternative approach of combining observations and numerical model results in order to produce a more accurate forecast routine. The paper presents an approach where the errors made by a deterministic model are corrected by a gaussian process model. The paper concludes with the analysis of the forecast skill for resulting, hybrid model which provides rather good forecast skill that can be extended over a forecasting horizon of considerable length.

Can plankton communities be considered as bio-indicators of water quality in the Lagoon of Venice?

This study examines whether plankton of the Lagoon of Venice could be considered as a bio-indicator of areas subjected to various anthropogenic influences. This study was a two year hydrochemical and biological survey in five areas of the Lagoon of Venice, each with different environmental conditions due to pollution from urban, industrial, thermal and agricultural wastes. Phytoplankton associa...

The 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...

POPs in the Lagoon of Venice: budgets and pathways.

Dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in the ecosystem of the Lagoon of Venice were studied, in order to provide a general picture of conditions in the lagoon in terms of contamination by persistent organic pollutants (POPs). We present here novel data on atmospheric deposition, water, sediment and clam samples collected in the lagoon during the pe...

Groundwater Level Forecasting Using Wavelet and Kriging

In this research, a hybrid wavelet-artificial neural network (WANN) and a geostatistical method were proposed for spatiotemporal prediction of the groundwater level (GWL) for one month ahead. For this purpose, monthly observed time series of GWL were collected from September 2005 to April 2014 in 10 piezometers around Mashhad City in the Northeast of Iran. In temporal forecasting, an artificial...
