AdriE ocean climate model ensemble for the Adriatic Sea - monthly fields

This dataset contains the monthly-averaged fields of the key physical oceanographic quantities from the AdriE ocean model ensemble. The model runs were carried out by using the ROMS modelling system (Haidvogel et al., 2008) forced by the SMHI-RCA4 Regional Climate Model (Samuelsson et al., 2021), in turn driven by different General Circulation Models. The period is 1987-2099 in the severe RCP8.5 scenario for the climate simulations, whereas the evaluation runs span the period 1987-2010. Each file contains the results for one run.

The model implementation and its validation are fully described in a manuscript recently submitted to Ocean Science (Bonaldo, D., Carniel, S., Colucci, R. R., Denamiel, C., Pranic, P., Raicich, F., Ricchi, A., Sangelantoni, L., Vilibic, I., and Vitelletti, M.
