The CSS projects

P33 - ADRICOSM

This ongoing demonstration project, ADRICOSM, coordinated by INGV, Italy, aims at the integrated management of Adriatic Sea coastal areas and river basin water resources. It is based upon four modules:

• Module 1 - Adriatic Coastal Areas Forecasting system (ACAF) The construction of a Near Real Time monitoring and modeling system to accurately forecast the short-term variability of the coastal areas circulation.


• Module 2 - Integrated River basin MAnagement system (IRMA) The implementation of an integrated planning and management system of urban drainage and wastewater utilities in a test site for the Croatian coasts.


• Module 3 - ACaf-IRma Interface (ACIRI) The development of an interface (of the river basin module) with the marine coastal area forecasting module.


• Module 4 - MAnagement of the Project and the CApacity Building (MAPCAB).

ACAF is needed to know and forecast the variable transport field from the open sea to the coastal areas up to 500 meters resolution. IRMA is required to monitor water quality at river mouths and connect it both to urban sources and to the marine coastal areas transport.

The ADRICOSM organizes the automatic and Near Real Time distribution of marine data sets and implements advanced modeling and data assimilation tools to be synthesized via Module 1. The models and data sets are:

• Five marine models nested in each other: 1 regional model (AREG) downscaled from the MFS OGCM (GODAE configuration), 2 shelf models (ASHELF), and 2 coastal models (ACOAST)


• Data assimilation software. A multivariate data assimilation system (the same as in MFS) assimilates satellite SST, in situ CTD stations, XBT, and satellite SLA into the AREG and ASHELF models.


• In situ VOS data. Two tracks of XBT temperatures profiles covering the Adriatic Sea at 10 nautical miles resolution.


• Atmospheric forcing. Surface atmospheric parameters from ECMWF (Reading, UK).


• Satellite data. Satellite Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data, colour data and Sea Surface Anomaly (SLA) data.


• In situ CTD data. CTD measure temperature, salinity and oxygen collected once a week at four different coastal areas.


• In situ buoy data. Three in situ multiparametric buoy stations: at the Po river, at the Tagliamento river, and at the Marjan Cape (Split), which measure temperature, salinity, oxygen, pH, light transmission, and current velocity.


• SISSI database. All technical, management, economic and financial data concerning the integrated water service (sewer network, river and coastal environments) in a relational database developed with a software SISSI.


• Integrated Catchment Simulator (ICS). A combination of 4 different models: MOUSE (the urban drainage system), MIKE11 (the river), MIKE21 (the marine and coastal water body), and STOAT (the wastewater treatment processes).


• Capital Investment Plan (CIP) and Tariff Evaluation (TE). A CIP for the optimization of the operation and management of the wastewater facilities by using the SISSI database, and a TE for the establishment of the increase of the water tariff in the long term.
