MESMAR v1: A new regional coupled climate model for downscaling, predictability, and data assimilation studies in the Mediterranean region. Article data

Regional coupled and Earth System models are fundamental numerical tools for climate investigations, downscaling of predictions and projections, process-oriented understanding of regional extreme events, and many more applications. Here we introduce a newly developed coupled regional modeling framework for the Mediterranean region, called MESMAR (Mediterranean Earth System model at ISMAR) version 1, which is composed of the WRF atmospheric model, the NEMO oceanic 15 model, and the HD hydrological discharge model, coupled via the OASIS coupler. The model is implemented at moderate resolution (about 1/12° for the ocean and river routing, while twice coarser for the atmosphere) for long-term investigations.
