Waves and tides in the CCLMEAbstract
In recent decades, and in parallel to the increase in the computational capabilities and improvements in telecommunications, a remarkable progress in the development of equipment for marine environment monitoring has been carried out. Many countries are implementing permanent measurement networks, as well as climate forecast and data management systems. The information generated by these tools is distributed to the whole society. This article describes waves and tides regime and variability in the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME). The study is based on those sources of data with adequate and relevant information (products) that allow a reasonable description of these two oceanographic variables, being Puertos del Estado equipment and numerical models the main source of information. A review of existing buoys, tide gauges and numerical models available in the region was performed by contacting different institutions from the affected countries as well as international organizations.Page Range
