Dataset of modelled sea level in the Italian Seas for the historical period 1994-2007 (reanalysis model winds and sea-level data assimilation)

This dataset contains reanalysis results from numerical model runs of total sea level in the Italian Seas, covering the historical period of 1994-2007. This study was part of the project “COAST-CLIM”, funded by the Italian PNRR initiative “RETURN” (RETURN Extended Partnership, https://www.fondazionereturn.it/en/). “COAST-CLIM” was coordinated by the Italian National Research Council (CNR). PNRR is funded by the European Union under the Next Generation Europe program (NRRP, M4, C2, I1.3 – D.D. 1243 2/8/2022, PE0000005).
