Analysis of a 44-year hindcast for the Mediterranean Sea: comparison with altimetry and in situ observations

We study the interannual and seasonal variability in the Mediterranean Sea over the period 1958-2004 by comparing a numerical simulation (the 1/4º ORCA-R025 G70 model run, ‘ORCA’ hereafter) with altimetry and the MEDAR temperature and salinity database.
