“…The location of the barrage in this place made the tidal wave act in a tidal convergent channel, wide inlet and narrow at its closed upper end. Thus, the tidal river below the barrage will behave as closed-end lagoons, i.e., the height of the tidal wave increases as we move toward the inland direction near the barrage, similar results were previously observed in Khor Al-Zubair tidal convergent channel by Al-Sayab (1989) and Lafta et al (2020), addition, the barrage acted as a closed dam, affecting the hydrodynamics of the river (Manuel et al, 2012 ) ,which was reflected in the behavior of the tidal wave. The differences in the water levels in the two cases are more evident in the first station 135000 m, near the barrage, where the value of the difference reaches 0.409 m and was on 16/6/2017 as shown in Table ( 1), the differences in the water level gradually decrease as we moved away from the barrage, and this is what the results indicate in table 1.…”

The influence of the suggested regulator barrage of the Shatt Al-Arab river on water level ‎fluctuations was tested by using a one-dimensional model. The numerical model period ‎covered six months in 2017. The performance of the model was evaluated by comparing ‎the estimated water level at two locations, Sihan, and Abu Flous. A good fit between the ‎observed and simulated water levels at the two locations was achieved with root mean ‎square error at 0.13 and 0.06 m, respectively. The model results showed that there is an ‎increase in high water levels near areas located below the barrage in both the spring and ‎neap tidal phases. The increasing of water level below the barrage could be attributed to ‎behave the river as a convergent tidal channel that characterizes by the increasing water ‎level as tidal wave propagated further toward inland areas. The highest increase in the ‎water level reaches about 0.4 m below the barrage. Additionally, the tidal range also ‎increased along the river course. The maximum increase in tidal range reaches about 0.9 m ‎below the barrage. The results obtained could be useful for a general assessment of the ‎hydrodynamic of the Shatt Al- Arab river and could give a general view in the case of the ‎construction of such a barrage to tackle the salinity intrusion problem in this river.

“…However, relative humidity is higher near the gulf than in other sections of the nation [12]. Tidal currents play an essential role in a variety of ways, serving as the primary driver of physical processes in the study region and ensuring the continual interchange of water masses with the Arabian Gulf [13]. Whereas, the accident of Salihiah tugboat occurred in the southern port of Umm Qasr at the position 30° 1'21.44"N, 47°57'24.64"E.…”

The Arabian Gulf is known as a global center for trade, oil export, and shipping because the countries around the Gulf have many important commercial and oil ports. The southern port of Umm Qasr is one of these important transportation sites in the northern Arabian Gulf, as it includes berths for shipping goods as well as oil berths for importing and exporting oil derivatives and crude transport. Any disruption or disruption in port operations may lead to significant economic and material losses to Iraq. Marine accidents caused by bad weather are considered one of the most serious risks and obstacles facing marine work. In this study, we will investigate and evaluate the meteorological conditions that influence and cause marine accidents. The Salihiah tugboat accident, which collided with a foreign ship in 2020, and led to the sinking of the tow boat in the southern port of Umm Qasr. The disaster was caused by a violent dust storm and high wind speed. Two cases of dust storms were recorded on the day of the accident and several cases of dust raised, and there was also a significant drop in sea level pressure that led to the storm and the lack of visibility in the port of Umm Qasr. The aim of the study is to know the main causative weather factor for the accident and to advise the managers of Iraqi ports to take measures and reduce activity in bad weather conditions.

“…Through these analyses, it was widely argued that the main contributors to SL rise are thermal expansion of seawater [214], Antarctic and Greenland ice sheet melting [215], and land-water storage change due to the groundwater depletion [216]. Consequently, SL rise has many environmental and economic impacts, including reef island destabilization [217], wave resource alteration [218], coastal erosion [219], saltwater intrusion into aquifers [220], sea turtle nesting threatening [221], lowland and delta vulnerability [222], coastal flooding [223], seaport infrastructure susceptibility [224], wetland inundation and displacement [225], island and offshore baseline loss [226], tidal dynamics [227], and length-of-day changes [228].…”

Oceans cover over 70% of the Earth’s surface and provide numerous services to humans and the environment. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor these valuable assets using advanced technologies. In this regard, Remote Sensing (RS) provides a great opportunity to study different oceanographic parameters using archived consistent multitemporal datasets in a cost-efficient approach. So far, various types of RS techniques have been developed and utilized for different oceanographic applications. In this study, 15 applications of RS in the ocean using different RS techniques and systems are comprehensively reviewed and discussed. This study is divided into two parts to supply more detailed information about each application. The first part briefly discusses 12 different RS systems that are often employed for ocean studies. Then, six applications of these systems in the ocean, including Ocean Surface Wind (OSW), Ocean Surface Current (OSC), Ocean Wave Height (OWH), Sea Level (SL), Ocean Tide (OT), and Ship Detection (SD), are provided. For each application, the applicable RS systems, their advantages and disadvantages, various RS and Machine Learning (ML) techniques, and several case studies are discussed. The other nine applications, including Iceberg, Sea Ice (SI), Sea Surface temperature (SST), Ocean Surface Salinity (OSS), Ocean Color (OC), Ocean Chlorophyll (OCh), Ocean Oil Spill (OOS), Underwater Ocean, and Fishery, are provided in Part II of this study.
