Costa, T.C., Pereira, L.T., Marta-Almeida, M. and Guedes Soares, C. (2020), “Mapping of currents off the northwestern Iberian coast with the Regional Ocean Modelling System”, Journal of Operational Oceanography, Vol. 13(2), pp. 71-83
The structure and the temporal variability of the modelled velocity fields at different depths are studied for the years 2002-2004 in the Northwestern Iberian Margin. The currents are simulated with the Regional Ocean Modeling System in a high resolution, realistic configuration with input data from the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model reanalysis and atmospheric forcing from the Climate Forecast System Reanalysis, as well as tidal forcing from the TPXO Global Tide Solution. After validation of the numerical model results, the velocity field is mapped to identify the region’s main flow characteristics and its seasonal and interannual variability, in order to find areas of interest that have strong currents. There are three main regions within the numerical domain, at different levels, that reach velocity values higher than their surroundings: i) located at the surface flowing south around 9.5 ºW, related to the summer Upwelling Jet; ii) located further offshore near the Galician Bank, flowing north at deeper water levels which is visible during most part of the year and; iii) within Ría de Arousa, also visible all year round.
