coastDat TRIM-NP-2d CMIP5 hydrodynamic transient scenarios for the North Sea and the Northeast Atlantic for the period 1950-2100 with REMO MPI-ESM and HadGEM2 forcing
Project: coastDat Water Level and Waves Future Scenarios - This dataset comprises consistent marine future scenarios for the North Sea and Baltic Sea for water levels, currents and sea states based on CMIP scenarios. The data are obtained with the hydrodynamic model TRIM-NP and wave model WAM respectively. Regional atmospheric forcing varies depending on the selected scenario.

WAKOS is funded by Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) (funding program "Research for Sustainable (FONA)" within the funding RegIKlim (Regionale Informationen zum Klimahandeln)). Summary: These are the hydrodynamic transient scenarios for the North Sea and the Northeast Atlantic for the period 1950-2006 (historical) and 2006-2100 (future). Atmospheric forcing originates from CMIP5 CORDEX EUR-11 regionalized scenarios (https://www.wdc-climate.de/ui/project?acronym=CORDEX_DDS-CMIP5_native-grid). The simulation has been performed with the hydrodynamic model TRIM-NP V2.5 in barotropic 2D mode. FES tides are included. Water level and current component fields are stored hourly. The model is set up on an equidistant Cartesian grid cascade with the center near Helgoland (7.88 E, 54.18 N). The coarsest grid with 12.8 km resolution covers the area from 20 W to 30 E and from 42 N to 65 N. Further 3 nested grids better resolve the North Sea (with 6.4km), southern North Sea (with 3.2km) and the German Bight (with 1.6km). Model data from grid 1 and grid 4 are available in this data bank. The file name of the data sets is composed as follows: trim_____.nc spatial resolution: 12.8km (only ssh), 1.6km variable: ssh (sea_surface_height_above_sea_level), u_velocity (sea_water_x_velocity), v_velocity (sea_water_y_velocity) global model: mpi, had scenario: rcp85, rcp26 ,hist
