Climate change scenario of Mediterranean sea level: a multi-component regional climate modelling approach
Mediterranean sea level is influenced by various complex processes such as mass fluctuations, variation in the density structure (steric effect), changes in circulation, waves, atmospheric pressure variations and changes of the hydrographic conditions of incoming Atlantic water.So far, the question about future sea level change in the Mediterranean remains open. The resolution of global models from the IPCC do not allow the representation of small scales processes acting over the Mediterranean region, which are important to get the water masses of the basin well-represented, the latter's being a basic prerequisite to achieve a good sea level representation in the model. Additionally, the water exchange at Gibraltar is often parameterized, although its variations strongly influence the circulation and the changes in sea level in the Mediterranean Sea.
