- Abstract
-
The ECORS project – marine section – contributes to improving the representation of the marine environment and its evolution, within the context of aquatic operations : waves, currents, beach terrain.
- Purpose
-
The project will lead to great improvement in the quality of swell forecasting, both at sea and on the coast thanks to models developed by the SHOM and Météo-France.
In the surf zone, it also involves characterising the predictability of the beaches’ dynamics over various timescales varying from a few days to a few months
A coastal forecasting demonstrator has been developed thanks to this improved understanding of coastal dynamics
Aside from military applications, these developments are used to study beach dynamics.

2012 : Evaluation and summary of PE ECORS
A significant campaign to measure waves, currents and sea-floor changes (Truc Vert) was used to validate the digital models of changes in the sea floor, in addition to previous campaigns.
These measurements are added to in situ observations (current, pressure, sand content in the water) and the use of video to evaluate bathymetry and surface currents.
Repeated bathymetric readings use hydrographic launches as well as lighter means which are better suited to the surf zone. Detailed analysis of sea states at sea will be used to refine the parameters and assimilation techniques for the measurements taken from space in the sea state forecast models WAM and WAVEWATCH III. Finally, these results will be summarised in a demonstrator model used to characterize beaches along with their environments and dynamics.
