ORUST50: High-resolution ocean-modeling of the Orust-Tjörn fjord System
SMHI develops a high-resolution regional ocean model (50 m resolution) for the Orust-Tjörn Fjord system in order to test how high-resolution ocean models can be used for ecosystem based management, and enhance the understanding of the physical water processes within Swedish fjords. It is capable of reproducing the variability within the system. In a case study, SMHI investigates the importance of tides, density variations, sea level and winds for the exchange of water between the fjords. The model is also used together with a dispersion model to study dispersion of , e.g., algae and larvae between different parts of the system and between the coastal and offshore waters.
SMHI performs and manage the work in this project.
