A one-way nested eddy resolving model of the Aegean and Levantine basins: implementation and climatological runs
The present study deals with the implementation of an eddy resolving model of the Levantine and Aegean basins and its one-way nesting with a coarse resolution (1/8° × 1/8°) global Mediterranean general circulation model. The modelling effort is done within the framework of the Mediterranean...

| description | The present study deals
with the implementation of an eddy resolving model of the Levantine and Aegean
basins and its one-way nesting with a coarse resolution (1/8° × 1/8°) global
Mediterranean general circulation model. The modelling effort is done within
the framework of the Mediterranean Forecasting System Pilot Project as an
initiative towards real-time forecasting within the eastern Mediterranean
region. The performed climatological runs of the nested model have shown very
promising results on the ability of the model to capture correctly the complex
dynamics of the area and at the same time to demonstrate the skill and
robustness of the nesting technique applied. A second aim of this study is to
prepare a comprehensive climatological surface boundary conditions data set for
the Mediterranean Sea. This data set has been developed within the framework of
the same research project and is suitable for use in ocean circulation models
of the Mediterranean Sea or parts of it. The computation is based on the ECMWF
6-h atmospheric parameters for the period 1979–1993 and a calibrated set of
momentum and heat flux bulk formulae resulted from previous studies for the
Mediterranean region.<br><br>
