Course 1 - Analysis of towed ADCP dataCourse 2 - Coastline evolution assessment
Course 1 (Monday, 8:30 - 17:00): Analysis of towed ADCP data by Arnoldo Valle-Levinson
Places: 20
Synopsis: In this short course, the participant will be provided a data set from a tidal cycle collection of velocity profiles along one transect. The participant will read the data, extract useful information and separate tidal from non-tidal signals. At the end, the participant will be able to generate contour plots of non-tidal flow, amplitude of one tidal harmonic, and phase of the tidal harmonic. It is essential that the participant has familiarity with a matrix-based program such as Matlab or Python or IDL. Participants should bring their own laptop with the appropriate software.
Course 2 (Monday, 8:30 - 17:00): Coastline evolution assessment by Luis Pedro de Almeida
Places: 20
Synopsis: in this short course there will be the presentation a hand-on use of 'e-CASSIE' tool, which is a freeware tool developed on the Google Earth API engine. It permits the automatic mapping and analysis of coastline of different environments, such as estuarine borders and beaches using Google Earth satellite database, Landsat and Sentinel images also, and computing capacity of Google Couth.
