RCM-SEEVCCC Climate projections

Model Setup

SEEVCCC provides results of climate projections obtained with coupled atmosphere-ocean Regional Climate Model (RCM-SEEVCCC). Results from INGV/CMCC’s model, SINTEX-G, are used as initial and lateral boundary conditions for this climate projection integrations, as a part of projects SINTA and ADRICOSM-STAR.

Model domain:
Atmospheric part: Euro-Mediterranean region, with model center at 15°E/41.5°N, with +/-19.9° boundaries in west-east direction and +/-13.0° boundaries in south-north direction (red dots on figure below).
Ocean part: Mediterranean Sea without Black sea (light blue rectangle on figure below).

Model resolution:
Atmospheric part: 0.25° in horizontal and 32 vertical levels.
Ocean part: 0.2° in horizontal and 21 vertical levels.

Climate projections

Climate simulations are performed for three time slices, using two IPCC scenarios. Available data can be found here.
