Finite element mesh with 1,638 elements, used for the discretization of the modeling domain and bathymetry interpolated from nautical charts No. 701 and 710 of the DHN. The map indicates the locations of the FES2014, ERA5, and HYCOM stations, used to generate model forcings. Additionally, the positions of the tide gauge and ADCP, used for model calibration, are shown.
