Operational System for Coastal Waters of Gdansk Region Goals Supporting the Region Authority and the society with essential information about the coastal water conditions Coastal water dangers warning for the Crisis Management Centres and Environ - ment Protection Departments of the Region Authority Internal water monitoring for spatial planning needs, environment quality protection, water cleanness and quality Tasks Expectations and demands of endusers about dissemination of results. Implementation of the Operational System of the Coastal Waters including the continuous monitoring of the Gdansk Region coastal zone

Expected functioning of Coastal Water Operational System

3D_HD MODEL

Development of the ecohydrodynamic model P processes included in the ProDeMo: 1) nutrient uptake by phytoplankton, 2) phytoplankton grazing by zooplankton, 3) phytoplankton respiration, 4) phytoplankton decay, 5) sedimentation, 6) nutrients release from sediment, 7) atmospheric deposition, 8) denitrification, 9) mineralisation, 10) zooplankton respiration, 11) sedimentation of phosphorus adsorbed on particles, 12) detritus sedimentation, 13) zooplankton decay 14) nitrogen fixation 15) nutrient deposition. influenced the dissolved oxygen: 16) reaeration, 17) flux to atmosphere due to the over saturated conditions, 18) zooplankton respiration, 19) phytoplankton respiration, 20) assimilation, 21) mineralisation, 22) nitrification, 23 ) denitrification
