Abstract

The Mediterranean is expected to be one of the most prominent and vulnerable climate change "hotspots" of the twenty-first century, and the physical mechanisms underlying this finding are still not clear. Furthermore, complex interactions and feedbacks involving ocean-atmosphere-land-biogeochemical processes play a prominent role in modulating the climate and environment of the Mediterranean region on a range of spatial and temporal scales. Therefore, it is critical to provide robust climate change information for use in vulnerability-impact-adaptation assessment studies considering the Mediterranean as a fully coupled environmental system. The Mediterranean Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (Med-CORDEX) initiative aims at coordinating the Mediterranean climate modeling community toward the development of fully coupled regional climate simulations, improving all relevant components of the system from atmosphere and ocean dynamics to land surface, hydrology, and biogeochemical processes. The primary goals of Med-CORDEX are to improve understanding of past climate variability and trends and to provide more accurate and reliable future projections, assessing in a quantitative and robust way the added value of using high-resolution and coupled regional climate models. The coordination activities and the scientific outcomes of Med-CORDEX can produce an important framework to foster the development of regional Earth system models in several key regions worldwide. ©2016 American Meteorological Society.

Abstract

The Hydrological Cycle in the Mediterranean Experiment (HyMeX; Drobinski et al., 2014) is a 10-year (2010-2020) GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel (GHP) Regional Hydroclimate Project (RHP). Its objectives are to: (i) improve the understanding of the water cycle, with emphasis on extreme events, by monitoring and modeling the Mediterranean coupled system (atmosphere-land-ocean), its variability (from the event scale to the seasonal and interannual scales) and characteristics over one decade in the context of global change; and (ii) evaluate societal and economical vulnerability, and adaptation capacity to extreme meteorological and climate events.

Abstract

International audience; The near-sea surface meteorological conditions associated with strong wind events constitute a strong forcing on the ocean mixed layer. The Gulf of Lions is one of the most windy region of the Mediterranean basin, with frequent Mistral and Tramontane events. These northerly and north-westerly low-level flows, generally induced by a cyclogenesis in the Ligurian basin, transport cold continental air over sea and induce strong momentum and heat exchanges at the air-sea interface. The local continental shelf circulation with sometimes transient coastal upwellings is also sensitive to these intense meteorological events. A preliminary study addresses the question of the sea surface scheme used in mesoscale atmospheric numerical modelling to represent the ocean mixed layer response under these severe wind events. Several slab ocean models have been used coupled with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model at 21 and 7-km resolution and applied on two Mistral/Tramontane cases. We mainly focused on the slab models performances to represent the ocean mixed layer response under Mistral and Tramontane situations at mesoscale, i. e. local and fast cooling and deepening, and finally we investigated the feedbacks of an interactive ocean mixed layer on the atmospheric simulation. In a second experimental set, the downscaling of the NCEP reanalyses over the full Mediterranean basin has been done with the WRF model between August 1998 and July 1999. The atmospheric fields obtained are then used to drive the regional NEMO-MED12 ocean model with a 1/12° resolution in a perpetual mode. The benefit of increasing the space and time resolutions of the atmospheric forcing (20 to nearly 7 km; daily to 3-hourly) is estimated by a comparison of the ocean model performances to represent the general Mediterranean circulation as the characteristics of the mixed layer, of the deep convection and of the upwellings between the sensitivity experiments, and by a comparison of our experiments to observations and climatologies. A special focus on the local 3D circulation in the Gulf of Lions under high-wind events in these simulations will be presented during the conference.

Abstract

International audience; In the framework of the MORCE-MED project, a two-way ocean-atmosphere coupling is developed between the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) atmospheric model and the NEMO ocean model over the Mediterranean basin. The future ocean-atmosphere coupled system is part of the future regional numerical platform including also the modelling of the continental superficial layers, atmospheric chemistry and marine biogeochemistry. Forced by global reanalyses or by the global climatic numerical system outputs, the whole regional coupled model aims to study the impacts of the climate change over the Mediterranean basin. Before applying the full two-way interactive coupling between the ocean and atmospheric regional models for long-term simulations over the Mediterranean, the forcing mode is considered through a sensitivity study. The downscaling of the NCEP reanalyses over the full Mediterranean basin with a 20-km resolution has been done with the WRF model between August 1998 and July 1999. The daily atmospheric fields obtained are then used to drive the NEMO model (with a 6-8 km resolution) over the Mediterranean Sea in a perpetual mode during a spinup of 8 years. Then, three experiments are done for a period of 4 years. The first experiment (or control experiment) is the continuity of the spinup. In the second experiment, a higher temporal resolution is used and the frequency of the forcing is 3 hours, which allows a good representation of the diurnal cycle and of the extreme air-sea exchanges that occur with a short duration during severe meteorological events. In the third experiment, a finer spatial resolution of the forcing is applied over the Gulf of Lions area in order to approach the ocean model resolution and to well represent the channelling of the Mistral and Tramontane. The benefit of increasing the space-time resolutions of the atmospheric forcing is estimated by a comparison of the ocean model performances to represent the general Mediterranean circulation as the characteristics of the mixed layer, of the deep convection and of the upwellings between the control experiment and the two sensitivity experiments, and by a comparison of our experiments to observations and climatologies.

Abstract

The Mediterranean is expected to be one of the most prominent and vulnerable climate change >hotspots> of the twenty-first century, and the physical mechanisms underlying this finding are still not clear. Furthermore, complex interactions and feedbacks involving ocean-atmosphere-land-biogeochemical processes play a prominent role in modulating the climate and environment of the Mediterranean region on a range of spatial and temporal scales. Therefore, it is critical to provide robust climate change information for use in vulnerability-impact-adaptation assessment studies considering the Mediterranean as a fully coupled environmental system. The Mediterranean Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (Med-CORDEX) initiative aims at coordinating the Mediterranean climate modeling community toward the development of fully coupled regional climate simulations, improving all relevant components of the system from atmosphere and ocean dynamics to land surface, hydrology, and biogeochemical processes. The primary goals of Med-CORDEX are to improve understanding of past climate variability and trends and to provide more accurate and reliable future projections, assessing in a quantitative and robust way the added value of using high-resolution and coupled regional climate models. The coordination activities and the scientific outcomes of Med-CORDEX can produce an important framework to foster the development of regional Earth system models in several key regions worldwide., This work is a contribution to the HyMeX program supported by grants MISTRALS and ANR-12-SENV-001 REMEMBER and to the CLIMRUN project (www.climrun.eu) funded under the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
