Balearic Rissaga Forecasting System (BRIFS)

The Balearic RIssaga Forecasting System (BRIFS) aims at quantitatively predicting the occurrence of extreme sea level oscillations associated with meteotsunamis in the Menorcan harbour of Ciutadella. Combining both atmospheric and oceanic modelling, the system is run once a day in the morning and provides a 48-hour prediction of air pressure disturbances and associated sea level response over the Balearic shelf and in Ciutadella harbour.
