Operational Oceanographic and Atmospheric Platform to Improve the Observation and Forecasting of Coastal Physical Processes in Andalusia

The OceanUCA platform updates the current operational tools developed by the University of Cádiz, including new observational systems and high-resolution numerical models (both atmospheric and hydrodynamic), configured to reach their maximum resolution on the coast of Andalusia. This system aims to detect climate-change effects, enhance environmental protection, facilitate the conservation of natural resources, develop early-warning products, or improve the short, medium, and long-term forecasts. The platform's ultimate aim is to adequately use the coastal ecosystem services to help the decision-making of institutions and third parties through monitoring marine and atmospheric processes in the area.
