Description

Climatic indices for the Mediterranean Sea (6.25W-36.5E, 30N-46N) from 1950 to 2015.  The file
"Med_Climatic_Indices_Climashift_30yrs.tar.gz" contains : a) an ascii file named "inventory_Climashift_30yrs.txt" which lists all the available indices, and b) a directory named "Climashift_30yrs" with the indices under the following structure:

  • Climashift_30yrs/Anomalies/Annual/Variable_decade2_decade1_allmonths_z1_z2.nc
  • Climashift_30yrs/Anomalies/Seasonal/ Variable_decade2_decade1_season_z1_z2.nc
  • Climashift_30yrs/Vertical_Averages/Annual/Variable_decade2_decade1_allmonths_z1z2.nc
  • Climashift_30yrs/Vertical_Averages/Seasonal/Variable_decade2_decade1_season_z1z2.nc

The Variable naming is:

  •  Tanomclimashift: Temperature anomaly difference between decade2 and decade1
  •  Sanomclimashift: Temperature anomaly difference between decade2 and decade1
  •  Tvavgclimashift: Vertically averaged temperature anomaly difference between decade2 and decade1
  •  Svavgclimashift: Vertically averaged salinity anomaly difference between decade2 and decade1
  •  OHCclimashift: Ocean Heat Content anomaly difference between decade2 and decade1
  •  OSCclimashift: Ocean Salt Content anomaly difference between decade2 and decade1

    
Other naming:

  • decade1: stands for 19501979
  • decade2: stands for 19802015
  • allmonths: 0112 (all months from January to December)
  • season: 0103 for winter, 0406 for spring, 0709for summer, 1012 for autumn
  • z1z2: vertical layer between z1 and z2 depths
  • z1, z2: standard depth levels

Example:

  • Sanomclimashift_19802015_19501979_0112_5_4000.nc, is the annual salinity anomaly difference between 1980-2015 and 1950-1970 from 5 to 4000 m.
