Mediterranean Sea physical reanalysis (MEDREA)

The MyOcean-CMEMS Mediterranean Sea reanalysis (MEDREA) system developed by INGV comprises an Ocean General Circulation Model based on Nucleos for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO version 3.2-3.4) code and a variational data assimilation scheme (OceanVar) for temperature and salinity vertical profiles and satellite SLA along track data. ERA-Interim atmospheric reanalysis data from ECMWF have been used to compute the air-sea fluxes. The model horizontal grid resolution is 1/16˚ (ca. 6-7 km) and the unevenly spaced vertical levels are 72. The initial data set covered the time period 1987-2013 and it is has been yearly updated up to year 2018 within the framework of CMEMS Med MFC.
