The aim of our projectRegionalization of Climate change projections of IPCC 4th AR models for the
Iberian Peninsula
ToolRegional coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Model
Atmospheric componentREMO (Regional Model)
Ocean component
ROMS (Regional Ocean Model System)
Coupler OASIS3 coupler
Each of these components has been successfully used for a wide range of climate studies.
Coupling of REMO to ROMS

Regional simulations of high resolution consistent with global circulation when resources are limited
avoid inconsistences between global and regional models
reduce the effects of grid size changes from global to region of interest
Advantages of nested climate models
Global model
Intermediate nested model
Region of interest

Model Setup
Model domain: Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean and Black Sea
Mediterranean circulation is poorly simulated in global models
![Page 5: Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere model for Regional Climate studies in the Mediterranean Sea William Cabos Departamento de Física Universidad de Alcalá European.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649d635503460f94a45f76/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Model Setup
Conditions to take into account in the model
It should simulate the Mediterranean present time climate and climate change projections
The Atlantic ocean is necessary for the global climate signal
The ocean and the atmosphere should have the same grid:
no interpolation
1 hour exchange frecuency
The masks should be as like as possible
The Black Sea should be included

Regional Studies: Climate change and present climate validation:
Present climate: 1958 - 2001
Climate change: different scenarios:2000 - 2100

Regional models:
Ocean – ROMS; forced with global and regional atmosphere
Atmosphere – REMO

ROMS: downscaling of SODA data
SODA
Ocean reanalysis: conbines observations with ocean data
from 1958 to present
.5 degree resolution
Does not show the most important features of Mediterranean circulation : resolution ?
ROMS
.12 degrees simulation with SODA boundary data
Can be used for higher resolution local climate studies
Weak nudging to SODA data?
