ShyBFM v1.0: unstructured grid advection-diffusion-reaction modelling for coastal biogeochemical processes

This study presents ShyBFM, a high-resolution coupled physical–biogeochemical modelling system based on an unstructured grid. The physical component is the parallel computing finite element, ocean circulation model SHYFEM-MPI, while the marine ecosystem is described through the B...

Marine Heat Waves and Cold Spells – Multiple Analysis/Definitions (MHW-MAD): A Multi-Definition Global Marine Heatwave Database from Satellite Sea Surface Temperature Data

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged anomalies of warm sea surface temperature (SST) that can disrupt marine ecosystems, physical climate processes, and human coastal activities. MHW definitions vary due to different stakeholders requirements, such as ecological scientists and c...

The added value of Med-CORDEX coupled high-resolution regional climate models in representing sea surface temperature and marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean Sea

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) pose significant threats to Mediterranean marine ecosystems and coastal economies, with frequency and severity projected to increase under future climate change. While Med-CORDEX fully-coupled Regional Climate System Models (RCSMs) offer enhanced resolutio...
