Venice Lagoon and North Adriatic tide gauge network
The Venice Lagoon and North Adriatic tide gauge network (RMLV) supports the local real-time storm surge prediction and warning system (7 tide stations in the North Adriatic Sea and coastal lagoons). The collected data (tide level, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, air temperature, precipitation, humidity, wave height and period) are published in nearly real time.
The RMLV has been updated and it will be composed by 26 tide gauges located within the Venice Lagoon and along the northern Adriatic coastline. Tide gauges are mostly equipped with real-time data transmission to the processing centre of RMLV. The RMLV is a real-time system for automatic-instrumental detection/transmission of hydrological, meteo-marine, environmental parameters. It manages interconnections among other institutional bodies (i.e. Regional Civil Protection authorities, Regional environmental agencies, Water authorities, etc.).
Validated data can be freely downloaded by any user, after a brief registration. Analysis of high tide events and periodical reports on sea level rise, local climatology, flooding events are regularly published and made available for the public.
ISPRA activities also deal with tides forecasting in the North Adriatic, using two different models: a statistical one and a numerical one. Data are daily published on the website, and the results are used to develop a daily report, especially for exceptional high tides.
Collected data and storm surge forecasting data are moreover used to alert the Institutions involved in the Regional and National Civil Defence System through the Bulletin of tide in the Northern Adriatic Sea, daily updated.
