Popis: | This study investigates the effect of river discharge in transport and tidal processes in the Java Sea using the Coastal and Regional Ocean Community (CROCO) hydrodynamic model. The model has 20 vertical layers and a horizontal resolution of 1/18 degrees. The oceanic and atmospheric forcing of this model is taken from the global Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) model and the fifth generation ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis (ERA5) hourly data. Daily Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS) data has been successfully implemented as river flow data for this study. Two scenarios have been applied, namely, with and without river discharge. This study shows that the two scenarios and the satellite observational data agree in terms of water level with Root Mean Square Difference RMSD) about 4 cm, Sea Surface Temperature with RMSD about 0.29 °C, and Sea Surface Salinity with RMSD about 0.39 psu. The model was also validated using seven tide gauges and produced a good agreement. River discharge increase eastward transport in the eastern part of the Java Sea up to 0.1 Sv (1 Sv= 106 m3s−1). Both scenarios produce similar tidal amplitude and phase and agree well with previous studies and other tidal data sources. |
