Upwelling Index
Different data sources were used to calculate Upwelling Index time series.
Model Series |
Meteogalicia: Sea Level Pressure of the WRF atmosferic model. |
FNMOC: Sea Level Pressure of WXMAP atmosferic model |
Buoy Series |
Puertos del Estado: Wind direction and speed. |
Instituto Español de Oceanografía: Wind direction and speed. |
Regional Ocean Model System (ROMS) Outputs
Temperature, salinity and currents layers showed in this viewer are daily average data of surface layer calculated with a Regional Ocean Model System.
Whole output model database can be downloaded using thredds server.
Model derived products
Using ROMS data the following derived products are generated :
- Thermal, haline and mix layer fornts
- Edies
- Shelfishing areas
- Beaches temperature
Fronts and eddies can be donwloaded in kml format click
here and shelfishing area data here.
How to Cite
An example of a cite of Rias Baixas Upwelling Index series calculated using Meteogalicia model data could be:
" Upwelling index time series was provided by the Instituto Español de Oceanografía (www.indicedeafloramiento.ieo.es) and was calculated using sea level pressure of the Meteogalicia WRF atmosferic model.
"
An example of a cite of ROMS data could be:
temperature data was obtained from a Instituto Español de Oceanografía ROMS (www.indicedeafloramiento.ieo.es).
We would also appreciate receiving a copy of the relevant publications. This will help IEO to justify keeping the service freely available online in the future. Thank you!
