Statement

Model grid :

The grid of the MANGA configuration extends from 41°S to 55°N and from -18°W to 9.5°E, with horizontal resolution of 2.5 km (820x623 elements). The water column is resolved by 40 generalized sigma levels refined at the surface and at the bottom.

Sediment is modelled by three classes: gravel, sand and mud.

Forcing :

• Tide: FES2014 atlas

• Atmospheric forcing: ERA5 reanalysis

• Waves: RESOURCECODE and global reanalysis

• Rivers: IAV for Vilaine, and National River Flow Archive (UK) for Thames and HYDROFRANCE for other rivers

• Open boundary conditions: GLORYS reanalysis GLOBAL_MULTIYEAR_PHY_001_030 from COPERNICUS

Variables in the hindcast :

Hourly variables for water parameters (level, current, temperature, salinity) and sediment parameters (concentration in water for mud, sands and gravel, concentration in sediment for mud, sands and gravel, sediment thickness, bottom shear stress)
