MAMAMalta meeting, 27-30 January 2004
Workpackage-4: MAMA-Model:
• Preliminary results from new models implementations•Problems in accomplishing the exchange visit program
Models currently implementedand status of the exchange visit program
INSTM – A. Harzallah and A.Gharbi (Tunisia): Sicily Strait (A. Gharbi stage at CIRSA accomplished)
FSR – M. Snoussi and J. Chao (Morocco)Alboran Sea (Problems for J. Chao stage at CIRSA)
ISMAR-CNR – G. Umgiesser and I. Scroccaro (Italy):Nador Lagoon (co-operation with FSR established)
NCMS – N. Kabbara (Lebanon): Lebanese coastal area (2 stages at IMC
accomplished)
INSTM:Sicily StraitDevelopment fromAn earlier implementation
Increased resolutionin the TunisianCoastal areas.
Improved bathymetry
Model Grid andSurface salinity Field (MED6)
1 Year simulation accomplished with:•Monthly varying climatological surface forcing fields•Nesting with the MFSPP OGCM

J. Chao stage at CIRSA planned for July 2003………
Italian Consulate in Casablanca did not release theVisa
Visit re-scheduled for October 2003……
Still waiting for the visa!!!!!!!
No explanation for this delay provided by theConsulate (they just stay silent……..)
ISMAR-CNR. Nador lagoon
Tool: finite element model (SHYFEM)
To be nested with the FSRAlboran Sea model
