Ex-Mare - Forecasting System of Natural Hazards in the Azov Sea Region

Abstract

The paper presents approach used for the development of the forecasting system of extreme hydro-meteorological events in the region of the Sea of Azov. Due to numerous dangerous extreme events that occurred in the beginning of XXI century the issue of creation such system has become very relevant and important. The forecasting system, named EX-MARE, was started developing in 2014 as a complex of mathematical models. For each type of hydro-meteorological events, the modeling component was designed. The EX-MARE system is based on a scenario approach implied the consideration a variety of possible futures taking into account the existing uncertainty. Accurate extreme events estimation requires automated monitoring systems and longterm database application. In the paper, the detail description of the system components and the data sources is examined. Three case studies about the sea surges, flash flood and ice conditions researches demonstrate the application of the EX-MARE system and the benefits of its using. Further development of the EX-MARE system assumes adding data on exposure and vulnerability to perform the risk assessment, as well as focusing on multi-hazards exploring methodology.

Sufficient Conditions for the Existence and Uniqueness of the Solution of the Dynamics of Biogeochemical Cycles in Coastal Systems Problem

“…In [3], mathematical modeling methods are used to assess the state of the ecological system of the North Caspian shelf, biological pollution, including invasive species. In the works of Russian scientists [4,5], shallowwater ecosystems are researched, and forecasts of their development dynamics are made. In [6][7][8][9][10], the hydrological regime, dynamics of primary bioproduction, biogenic pollution of water bodies in the South of Russia were studied, and mathematical models of the movement of the aquatic environment, biochemistry, and biological kinetics were proposed.…”

Natural Hazards: Theoretical Elaboration And Integration With Social Sciences

“…Second, a number of studies have been conducted on the relationship between a natural disaster and civilization development, and vice versa. Most scientific papers have emphasized the importance of environmental and territorial factors that determine the risk of natural disasters, and especially in relation to hydrometeorological hazards (Berdnikov et al, 2018;Leroy, 2006).…”

Decision Support Tools for Marine Spatial Planning Problems

“…ГК «СКАНЭКС» занимается разработкой сервисов оперативного мониторинга морей в интересах различных заказчиков: нефтяных компаний, органов и служб МЧС, Минприроды, Минтранса, экологических организаций и местных администраций России и стран ближнего зарубежья [4]. В ЮНЦ РАН разработаны методы и инструменты, обеспечивающие поддержку рационального и безопасного природопользования в прибрежных зонах [5][6][7], и продолжаются работы, нацеленные на поиск и реализацию новых методов эффективной интеграции возможностей технологий геоинформационных систем (ГИС-технологий) и математического моделирования на основе экосистемного подхода.…”
