Comparing the sea level response to pressure and wind forcing of two barotropic models: Validation with tide gauge and altimetry data
No full textThe sea level output from two barotropic models, Hindcast of Dynamic Processes of the Ocean and Coastal Areas of Europe (HIPOCAS) and Dynamic Atmospheric Correction (DAC), are compared and evaluated on the basis of coastal tide gauges (TG) and TOPEX/POSEIDON measurements in the Mediterranean Sea and the NE Atlantic Ocean for the period 1993–2001. Both models reduce the observed sea level variance more than the classical inverted barometer correction. However, differences between the models arise for different regions and frequency bands. In coastal areas, Hindcast of Dynamic Processes of the Ocean and Coastal Areas of Europe (HIPOCAS) reproduces observed (TG recorded) sea level better than DAC (residual variance of 70.81 ± 0.69 cm2 versus 74.05 ± 0.68 cm2). This is particularly true in the Atlantic Iberian coasts (49.58 ± 1.09 cm2 versus 68.53 ± 1.12 cm2), where HIPOCAS is able to reproduce a wind-generated signal probably linked with seasonal upwelling. The exception is the northern Adriatic, where HIPOCAS gives higher residual variance than DAC (118.80 ± 0.60 cm2 versus 107.15 ± 0.60 cm2). At low frequencies (T > 20 days) the atmospherically induced coastal sea level is better reproduced by HIPOCAS in the entire domain (23.43 ± 0.34 cm2 versus 32.35 ± 0.33 cm2). At high frequencies (T < 20 days), DAC and HIPOCAS perform on average similarly (37 ± 0.5 cm2). In the open ocean, both corrections provide equivalent results (60 ± 5 cm2 residual altimeter variance). Our general recommendation would be to use either DAC or HIPOCAS for the correction of altimetry, and to use HIPOCAS for coastal studies aiming at separating the atmospheric contribution to sea level variability from the steric and mass contributions

Degree Final Project conducted by Pascual Sanchis Torrego. The Eagle’s Shadow is a
First-Person Adventure(FPA) game that adapts a few chapters of the book with the
same name written by the author Arturo Pérez-Reverte, which tells the story of a group
of Spanish soldiers forced to fight under Napoleon’s army, who tired of this situation,
decided to desert in the middle of a battle, doing so in a quite peculiar way. The work
consists in the implementation of game mechanics and the creation of 3D assets where
players will have to explore the battlefield searching for key objects related to the story
in order to advance through different levels
Sea level variability in the Mediterranean Sea during the 1990s on the basis to two 2d and one 3d model
No full textThe sea level rise in the 1990s at the Mediterranean Sea as evidenced by satellite altimetry is studied with the aid of ocean models. Two barotropic two dimensional (2d) models and one three dimensional (3d) model are used. Both 2d models indicate that the contribution of direct atmospheric forcing causes localised trends of up to 2 mm/yr. The 3d model successfully describes the evolution in temperature of the upper and intermediate waters. However the salinity changes are not well described. The steric contribution of sea level rise during this period is in places in excess of 10 mm/yr. Notably oceanic circulation is also found to contribute to sea level trends by up to ? 3 mm/yr. Thus the observed sea level changes in the 1990s are better understood. The exceptional nature of the sea level behaviour in 1990s, especially in the eastern basin, when compared with previous decades is confirmed on the basis of both the 2d and the 3d models

Innovation and Collaboration in the Digital Era: The Role of Emotional Intelligence for Innovation Leadership and Collaborative Innovation/ Jara Pascual.
No full textIn English.Innovation and Collaboration in the Digital Era provides a holistic approach to collaborative innovation, innovation management and innovation leadership. It is full of practical advice and includes 34 interviews with high-level politicians, innovation industry leaders, academics and entrepreneurs discussing the reality of innovation and how to create change for a positive impact. Many "es are included from researchers and practitioners in the innovation field who have participated as guests in the author's podcast "Business of Collaboration" or in interviews with the Collabwith Magazine which she produces. This is a powerful book full of practical frameworks and one-page canvases which act as reminders of the value of making needs and expectations explicit. The author provides frameworks and tools that can be used to support collaboration journeys across different sectors and organizations. She also offers clarity to the reader for their innovation journey and brings a new perspective on how to innovate and understand innovation. Jara Pascual focuses on the importance of managing emotions and feelings of frustration which can be very common during a collaborative innovation process. She explores the interaction between Emotional Intelligence and business and shows how to remove and manage frustration and how to produce a positive outcome. Innovation and Collaboration in the Digital Era will empower the reader to take action and show how to change your conversation about innovation and collaboration.‹/EM› "Innovation and collaboration are among the most important concepts that drive human society forward. Jara Pascual explores their interplay in a unique way, with the chapters walking through the richness of the topics like a Mediterranean food market, full of colour, diversity and flavours. A remarkable, engaging and satisfying read." Johan Kestens, CIO New York Mellon Bank "Jara's voice is rigorous and inspiring on how to manage organizations in the current era. Inded, there are strategic reasons for diversity. And indeed, good leaders are not just smart, but emotionally intelligent. A MUST READ!" Elena Arrieta, tech & innovation journalist. Currently working as Communications Manager at DigitalES, the Spanish Association for Digitalisation. "Jara Pascual is opening a new box for innovation. I was intrigued about the connection of Emotional Intelligence and business in particular in a startup context. Everyone is looking for recipes for personal and professional success and this approach might be the key for both." Sabine Stuiver, Co-founder and CMO Hydraloop "Jara Pascual, with colleague Celia Avila-Rauch, has been able to distill and apply the ability model of emotional intelligence to the art and science of innovation and innovation leadership. In our work we note that feelings are not always facts but that emotions as a form of data. More than that, emotions can assist or facilitate with decision making, creativity and innovation rather than getting in the way, but only if leaders are "smart" about emotions and develop and deploy their emotional intelligence skills."

Intercomparison of numerical simulations, satellite altimetry and glider observations in the Algerian Basin during fall 2014 and 2015: focus on a SARAL/AltiKa track
No full textThe Algerian Basin is a key-place for the study of the general circulation of the Western Mediterranean Sea
and its role in reaction to climate change. The presence of both fresh Atlantic waters and more saline resident
Mediterranean ones characterizes the basin with an intense inflow/outflow regime and complex circulation
patterns. Very energetic mesoscale structures, that evolve from meander of the Algerian Current to isolated
cyclonic and anti-cyclonic eddies, dominate the area with marked repercussions on the biological activity. Despite
their remarkable importance, this region and its variability are still poorly known and basin-wide high resolution
knowledge of its mesoscale and sub-mesoscale features is still incomplete. The monitoring of such complex
processes requires a synergic approach that involves integrated observing systems. In recent years, several studies
proved the advantages of the combined use of autonomous underwater vehicles, such as gliders, with a new
generation of satellite altimeters.
In this context, we present the first results of a new integrated oceanographic observing system built up in the
Algerian Basin during fall 2014 and 2015, aiming at advancing our knowledge on its main features. The study
was realized through the analysis of glider high resolutions three-dimensional observations, collected along
the Algerian BAsin Circulation Unmanned Survey (ABACUS) monitoring line, in synergy with co-located
SARAL/AltiKa altimetric products and CMEMS numerical simulations. The achieved results confirm that glider
derived dynamic height and SARAL/AltiKa absolute dynamic topography present similar patterns, with RMS
of the differences ranging between 1.11 and 2.90 cm. Generally, the maximum discrepancies are located nearby
the Balearic Islands and the Algerian Coast, but it is important to remark that the correlation coefficients seem
to mostly depend on the synopticity between in situ and satellite measurements. Still, this study confirm that the
numerical simulations derived from the analyzed CMEMS products agree well with the high resolution glider
measurements and provide valuable information for multiplatform observatories that strongly complement in situ
and remote sensed observations
