Spatial distribution of depth and water properties (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen content) are considered in detail for cores of the Okhotsk Sea water masses: subsurface, intermediate, and deep, on the base of the most comprehensive oceanographic data set.

The structure of the chemical – biological block of two-dimensional mathematical model of ecosystem and shallow reservoir and his methods of calibration is described in detail. The model includes the balance equations for the following components of ecosystem: phytoplankton, bacteria, zooplankton, dead (organic) matter, phosphate, ammonium, nitrite, nitrate and dissolved oxygen. Results of calculations of spatial distribution of several components of the ecosystem for the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta coastal lagoon (Colombia) in various seasons of year are given.

Abstract An adequate supply of dissolved oxygen is essential for the survival of aquatic organisms. Hydraulic structures can increase dissolved oxygen levels by creating turbulent conditions, where small air bubbles are carried into the bulk of the flow. Plunging overfall jets from weirs at recirculating systems are a particular instance of this. This paper seeks triangular notch weirs having different weir angle (α) and how they affect the aeration performance. It is demonstrated that the aeration efficiency of a 90° triangular notch weir is generally better than that of the other weirs.

Some ecological aspects of two congeneric species of Cyclopoid copepods, Oithona ovalis and O. oligohalina have been studied for the first time in the estuarine region of Cananeia. The spatial distribution and seasonal variation of both species of Oithona are studied in relation to salinity, temperature and dissolved, oxygen. The results obtained are compared to previous work done in the area and to similar studies undertaken elsewhere.

The shrinking populations of many regions in Portugal have led to a debate on the criteria which should guide the restructuring of public services at the local scale, and namely how to balance raising per capita costs with guaranteeing equity in accessibility. This article contributes to this debate by analyzing the spatial distribution of primary schools in the municipality of Vagos. It is based on a linear programming approach to optimize the resources needed for the operation and installation of school facilities and the level of accessibility that is provided. The simulated configurations are used as benchmarks for the actual spatial distribution of schools, identifying how it could be made more efficient or equitable and the criteria which have been prioritized in recent school planning policies. This allowed to conclude that, in the analyzed context, changes to the spatial distribution of schools have been made with significant equity concerns and that, while it would be possible to decrease costs through further consolidation, this would pose significant equity challenges.

The objective of the present work is to compare the characterization of the local scale winds through different techniques of numerical modeling of the atmosphere. We compared four numerical methods to simulate the flow over a complex terrain, namely: CFD RANS with k-ε and k-ω (WindSim), simple mass conserving (WindMap), and refined mesoscale (SiteWind). The mentioned tools are very frequently utilized in the wind industry, and for this reason they have been selected. In this terrain, we had data availability from five meteorological masts during measurement periods that comprised 1.5 to 2 years. To ensure a free tendency analysis, equivalent settings have been used in the microscale models, with steady state, incompressible flow and neutrally stratified atmosphere conditions. Non-negligible differences are found on the spatial distribution of the winds simulated by the different models. Qualitatively, this disagreement hampers the decision-making. The five meteorological masts inside the area are important for adjusting and for checking the model, but they are not enough to categorically claim the superiority of accuracy of one model over the others. Nonetheless, these measurements provide us an indicative that the refined mesoscale model was able to better represent the wind acceleration in the studied region.
