Coastal Modelling with a Gis Bathymetric Module
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 3D hydrodynamic/pollutant transport model was used to simulate the currents and pollutant transport in coastal areas. The bathymetric and shoreline data was provided to the model via a GIS module that operates in the ArcView GIS environment. The module is efficient and capable of generating bathymetric rectangular grids and shorelines of different resolution for open and closed boundary scenarios that can automatically be read by the coastal model. This ability could improve the basic patterns and relationships of the model such as grid dependency. The functionality of the 3D model with the GIS module is illustrated in a number of coastal areas in Greece.

متن کاملImplementation of Algorithm for Satellite-Derived Bathymetry using Open Source GIS and Evaluation for Tsunami Simulation
Accurate and high resolution bathymetric data is a necessity for a wide range of coastal oceanographic research topics. Active sensing methods, such as ship-based soundings and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), are expensive and time consuming solutions. Therefore, the significance of Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) has increased in the last ten years due to the availability of multi-cons...

In the absence of long term wave data collected at a coastal site of interest, the calculation of wave statistics at a coastal site requires various data sets to be assembled, including temporally and spatially long term representative directional wave data offshore of the site, as well as bathymetric and coastline data. Further, a suitable wave model is required, which is capable of modelling ...
