Euripus, Tidologia, Energia das marés, Oceanografia, Serviço Hidrográfico GregoResumo
O canal de água de Euripus, na ilha grega de Evia, apresenta um fenómeno único em que fortes correntes de maré invertem abruptamente a sua direção. Esta palestra irá traçar a historiografia da investigação das marés no Estreito de Euripus, que culminou com os levantamentos do Serviço Hidrográfico Grego no início da década de 1920. O estabelecimento de uma estação talassográfica no Estreito em 1921, como um marco na ciência oceanográfica grega, também será discutido. Este documento demonstrará que o estabelecimento de uma estação de observação no estreito testemunha a importância do Euripus na comunidade oceanográfica grega nascente. Por último, este documento incluirá uma breve discussão sobre o potencial das marés do Euripus para a produção de energia hidroelétrica. Embora algumas propostas iniciais para explorar o potencial de energia das marés do local tenham sido discutidas pela primeira vez pelo famoso meteorologista grego Dimitrios Aiginitis no final da década de....
