“…In addition, numerical model completes the in situ data by providing non-observed variables and forecasts. Furthermore, modelling results allow for the calculation of complex parameters such as tidal prims, the area of influence of the estuarine waters and estuarine fluxes that would serve as boundary conditions for ocean regional models such as the offline coupling method applied to PCOMS [6]. This type of analysis provides valuable information to characterise the estuarine systems, as this was able to show that two neighbouring estuaries can differ largely in flow and salinity fluxes.…”

“…This set of numerical models was integrated and synchronised through the ART software (Automatic Running Tool; Figure 2), a software for the automation of model simulations developed at IST that is currently used by many operational applications [6,12,16]. The ART tool is a standalone application, independent, compiled, and able to run in any Windows operative system.…”

The characterisation of the water and properties exchanges at the estuary-ocean interface is a key information to understand the estuarine plume influence on coastal circulation and in the generation of haline fronts. In this work, the largest eight Portuguese estuaries were modelled using the MOHID Water numerical model for the period 2010-2016. Water fluxes and associated properties were computed numerically at each of the estuary mouths. These results served to estimate the tidal prisms, tidal flows and to describe the annual evolution of water temperature and salinity. Those fluxes could serve to improve the land boundary conditions for regional ocean models. Moreover, the numerical analysis of the estuarine fluxes allow for the better characterisation of the studied systems, as two neighbouring estuaries could present very different fluxes and water properties. Where available, modelling results were compared with stations near the estuary mouth.

“…Aggregation efforts of near real time river data, adequate for coastal zone modeling, have recently increased with a dedicated section in EMODnet physics. However, neither river climatologies nor watershed models are fully satisfactory (Campuzano et al, 2016) and validated observational error estimates must also be a priority (De Mey-Frémaux et al, 2019).…”

“…The performance of regional/coastal operational systems, as well as the improvement of knowledge about the processes in the coastal ocean, is dependent on how the interaction between watersheds, estuaries, and ocean is accounted for the numerical models. Campuzano et al (2016) present an original methodology for integrating the water cycle from the rainwater to the open ocean by using an offline coupling technique. With their modeling application to the Tagus River and validation of model against observations, they demonstrate an improvement of the model skill to simulate the fresh water inputs into a regional ocean model.…”
