| Zusammenfassung |
| A new numerical general circulation ocean model for the Mediterranean Sea
has been implemented nested within an Atlantic general circulation model
within the framework of the Marine Environment and Security for the European
Area project (MERSEA, Desaubies, 2006). A 4-year twin experiment was carried
out from January 2004 to December 2007 with two different models to evaluate
the impact on the Mediterranean Sea circulation of open lateral boundary
conditions in the Atlantic Ocean. One model considers a closed lateral
boundary in a large Atlantic box and the other is nested in the same box in
a global ocean circulation model. Impact was observed comparing the two
simulations with independent observations: ARGO for temperature and salinity
profiles and tide gauges and along-track satellite observations for the sea
surface height. The improvement in the nested Atlantic-Mediterranean model
with respect to the closed one is particularly evident in the salinity
characteristics of the Modified Atlantic Water and in the Mediterranean sea
level seasonal variability. |
