Hydrodynamical modelling

With hydrodynamic models we aim to simulate sea-level change to improve our understanding of the ocean system, its drivers and its feedbacks. This system can be global, regional or local. Modelled data can augment sparse ocean observations or provide projections of future ocean and sea-level changes with a high resolution, both in space and time. We drive our regional ocean models with information from global climate models, in order to improve future projections of sea-level change.
