New service available: currents in the Ría de Vigo


Additionally to the meteorological and oceanographic information provided to the moment in torallamar.info, from now is available the surface current map of the Ría de Vigo through this link: http://cuvi.portus.qrms.net/portus/PortusMini.html

This system, implemented by Physical Oceanography Group of the University of Vigo (GOFUVI) in collaboration with Qualitas Remos, and installed in the Estación de Ciencias Mariñas de Toralla (ECIMAT) and in a lighthouse of the Autoridad Portuaria de Vigo (APV), provide a map with the average surface current values every 30 minutes and with an spatial resolution of 190 m, being available both the last data acquired as this from the last 15 days.

By clicking on the map, you will obtain the numerical value of the current speed and direction in each area (keep in mind that the time showed is UTC, so you will have to sum one hour in winter and two in summer to obtain local time).


We hope you find this useful.
