Data sets There are two data sets: (1) reanalysis (1993-2021) and (2) future projection (2015-2100). Future projection data set is split into 10 files. The dataset provides gridded monthly mean values of physical parameters in the Gulf of Riga, Baltic Sea. The variables of the dataset of the physical state of the Gulf of Riga are as follows (Long name: acronym , units ) Potential temperature: thetao, ° C Sea water salinity: s, g/kg Eastward sea water velocity: ocu, m/s Northward sea water velocity: ocv, m/s Deviation of sea-level from the mean sea level: zos, m Sea ice area fraction siconc , m 2 / m 2 Sea ice thickness: sithick, m Bathymetry: bathymetry, m (included only in reanalysis data set) The grid size of the dataset is 15 (depth) x 203 (latitude) x 187 (longitude). The horizontal grid spacing is 0.5 nm; the vertical grid has 15 depth layers – 2 m deep surface layer and 4 m step for deeper layers. The time resolution of the dataset is monthly – the monthly mean value is provided in the 1st day of the ... : Acknowledgements The dataset has been created within the project "CE2COAST – Downscaling Climate and Ocean Change to services: Thresholds and Opportunities" funded by Ministry of Education and Science, Republic of Latvia through the 2019 "Joint Transnational Call on Next Generation Climate Science in Europe for Oceans" initiated by JPI Climate and JPI Oceans, contract number 23-11.17e/20/246. ...
