Two-dimensional reconstruction of the Mediterranean sea level over 1970 - 2006 from tide gauge data and regional ocean circulation model outputs
wo-dimensional reconstructions of the Mediterranean sea level corrected for the atmospheric effects are proposed at monthly interval over the period 1970-2006 using 14 tide gage records and 33-year long (1970-2002) sea level grids from the NEMOMED8 regional ocean circulation model (NM8) and the PROT...
