Descripción
Sumario:GISPART is a three-dimensional particle-tracking code to simulate the dispersion of contaminants in the Strait of Gibraltar. It consists of a hydrodynamic module that is run off-line to determine tidal constants and residuals in the domain. This information is stored in several files that are read by the dispersion module to reconstruct water movements. Several application cases are presented, including instantaneous and continuous releases as well as different wind conditions, to show the information that can be extracted from the model.
