Coastal Information System (C.I.S.)
|
The Coastal Information System CIS is a hydrodynamic atlas for the Arabian
Gulf. It contains of wave data, tidal data and Wind data.
|
Wave Data
The wave data was hindcasted using wind data obtained from the European Center for Medium Range Weather ECMWF.
The KISR WAM model was used for that purpose. The data covers the years 1979 till 2019 and is available
on a 0.1 degree grid for the Arabian Gulf as shown in Fig. 1. The data includes the significant wave height,
the mean wave period for the wave spectra and the mean wave direction.
|
The data covers:
- Area limits are
Longitude 47 deg 24 min to longitude of 56 deg 48 min
Latitude 23 deg 48 min to Latitude of 30 deg 30 min
- The available grid system (dx / dy) is 0.1 degree. Or (6 min)
- Time limits are
Years Jan. 1979 Till Aug. 2019
- Data Store in hourly system
The data includes the significant wave height, the mean wave period for the
wave spectra and the mean wave direction.
For wave data the following can be provided:
- Time series of wave height, period, and direction at any location.
- Wave rose as a plot and table at any location (monthly or yearly).
- Two dimensional wave data at a certain instant.
- Long term analysis of the wave data (100 year wave).

Hydrodynamic data
The tidal hydrodynamic data was generated using a tidal finite element hydrodynamic model for
the Arabian Gulf. The model boundary was applied at the Striate of Hormoz. The data
includes the tidal current and the water level over a non-uniform grid for the Arabian Gulf and the
Kuwaiti territorial waters.
|
The hydrodynamic data can be provided for:
- Time series of tidal water levels or currents at any location.
- Two dimensional hydrodynamic data at a certain instant.
- Tidal constituents at any location.

A New Digitial Bathymetry and Topography Elevation (DEM)DataBase for Arabian Gulf Water and Kuwait
New Satellite images were processed to obtain a new set of satellite-derived bathymetry and land elevation.
The data were from local digitized navigational charts and free data available from different sources.
Both data were used to create seamless elevation and bathymetry map of Arabian Gulf region and part
of the Indian Ocean / Arabian Sea.
The new data was created after interpolating (preserving original data values), resampling, clipping and
other post processing of six original data as shown below.
- Satellite Derived Bathymetry for shallow water South of Kuwait Bay, 10m grid
- CM93 chart data (contour lines and points in various resolution)
- GEBCO bathymetry, 30 sec grid
- Stereo Surface Model for Kuwait coastal area, 5m grid
- SRTM surface elevation data, 90m grid
- Coastline from spring 2016 (based on 10m satellite data)
A new Inerface was developed to Extract 1D/2D bathymetry and topography data
for Arabian Gulf and Kuwait water [ KGMap interface ] for Grid Size setup:
- Region 1 grid Size 1215m cover Arabian Gulf water and Gulf of Oman.
- Region 2 Grid size 405m cover Arabian Gulf Waters
- Region 3 Grid size 135m cover GCC Contury terrtorial waters
- Region 4 Grid size 45m Kuwait waters
- Region 5 Grid size 15m Kuwait waters
- Region 6 Grid size 5m Kuwait waters
|
Multiple grids system for Arabian Gulf and Gulf Of Oman.
|
Four other grids were setup for the Kuwaiti territorial waters that can be used to provide more detailed data
at different locations in Kuwait.
