EMODnet Physics River – The product is 1D MOHID model that represent estuaries (i.e. proxy) schematically. The estuary is represented in the model by 10 grid cells in only one direction; 12x3 cells domain including the ocean open boundary and the land limits. In the open boundary, the model receives tides and water properties such as salinity and temperature. The model includes the local tides since the grid open boundary is georeferred and we can use global tidal models to provide realistic tides for each estuary. Tides were imposed using the Finite Element Solution 2014 (FES2014; Carrère et al., 2016) as the global tidal solution. In the land boundary, the model is forced in the innermost cell by river flow and temperature. River salinity values were considered as freshwater (0.01). Atmospheric forcing was not included.
