Adour estuary 3D numerical model

Sea Surface Salinity

A 3D numerical model of the Adour Estuary and the Basque Coast was developed with TELEMAC3D (v8p0) from the open TELEMAC-MASCARET system. The hydrodynamic model was validated with field data and reproduced satisfactorily tide, current and salinity observations.
