The temperature of the surface of the sea at the Estartit, a hotter rank that 4 decades ago back
At Josep Pascual Massaguer has the registry of the data of the temperature of the water of the longest sea of all the Mediterranean. To the 1969 commenced at taking meteorological sizes and the 1974 goes endinsar at the sea. At ends of the 80 commenced at observing that the data experimented changes. Since then, the level of the temperature of the sea has not made more that climb. According to Pascual's figures, the temperature of the surface of the sea has gone climbing until a rank more above the habitual.
At global, Pascual's data reveal that the temperature of the sea at the Estartit has passed of some 16 or 16,5 °C of annual average in addition to the 17,5 °C ongoing. At 90 metres of depth, the ascent has been of half rank. In the summer they attain the most elevated temperatures at the marine surface. Before the water of the sea estiuenca found at some 22 or 23 °C of average, but the last years the figures already are of 24 or 25 °C. The August of the 2022 beat the record of heat since Pascual collects data: the water of the sea attained the 27,5 °C. “The situation is grave”, assures, and compounds that at modes of this century the Catalan coast can apropar- at the 30 °C.
15 less metres of beach at 30 years
Since the year 1993, Pascual also measures the shrinking of the beaches. At quest case, makes it since at the top of the mount of Rocamaura, the mount of 225 metres of height since where contemplates all the bay of Masts until the cape of Begur. At this sense, the observations signify that every year misses half metre of beach, and at little more of 30 years the nine kilometres of beaches of this zone of the Coast Brava have retreated a total of 15 metres.
Act to guarantee the continuity of the registry of data
Have of these data is fundamental at the hour to pose acts of adaptation at the climatic change. That is why, with the aim to guarantee the continuity of this series of data of reference and pioneering, foresees the acquisition of a new probe to measure the conductivity, temperature, pressure and terbolesa of the water. This acquisition will go accompanied of a tracked of communicative pills with the aim to divulge, sensitise and transfer this ken.
