• Since January 2008, The Guadalquivir Estuary has been equipped with a large amount of instrumentation performing an intensive collection of meteorological, hydrodynamic, hydrological and water-quality parameters. An important effort has been made in setting up a telemetry network to register most of those variables in near real time. All this instrumentation generates more than 70000 data per day. The final purpose of this deployment, and the circulation model being developed in parallel, is to generate a powerful tool for the integral analysis and management of the Estuary.
