The above figure shows the results of an oceanographic numerical model to predict the dispersion of pollutants under the influence of surface currents from the central wastewater treatment plant of Koper in the Gulf of Koper. This numerical model was developed as part of the Mercator Ocean 22050-COP-INNO USER project and became a part of the Copernicus Marine Service. The model calculates hourly forecasts of pollutant dispersion for two days in advance and updates the display daily between 11:00 and 12:00. The model for the boundary and initial conditions (currents and tides) uses the results of the daily runs of the north Adriatic model, which is in operation at the Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO). The model for the north Adriatic is nested in the model for the Adriatic Sea (also in operation at ARSO), which in turn is nested in the model for the Mediterranean Sea (Copernicus Marine Service: Mediterranean Sea Physics Analysis and Forecast Service). The model shown on this website also uses as input the meteorological forecasts (wind speed and direction as well as air pressure) of the ALADIN/SI forecast model, which is in daily operation at ARSO. The results are displayed in UTC.
