ReCICLE project downscaled projections, obtained by running the Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) and European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model (ERSEM) coupled physics-biogeochemistry climate model, forced with lateral and atmospheric boundary conditions from the Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace Coupled Model with mid-resolution, IPSL-CM5A-MR, from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project collection, CMIP5, running under the RCP8.5 emission scenario. ReCICLE project projection outputs from NEMO-ERSEM forced with lateral and atmospheric boundary conditions from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, GFDL-ESM2G, Earth System Model, can be found here: https://data.ceda.ac.uk/bodc/PML230162 NEMO_ERSEM_IPSL Forcing field references: NEMO atmospheric and lateral boundary conditions (temperature, salinity, ocean currents, wind velocity, atmospheric pressure, solar radiation, humidity and precipitation) from IPSL-CM5A-MR CMIP5 earth system model, rcp8.5 IPCC scenario (Dufresne et al., 2013 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00382-012-1636-1). NEMO River discharge from Vorosmarty et al., 2000 (https://doi.org/10.1029/1999GB900092) modulated by the change in annual ESM precipitation aggregated over four land regions. NEMO tidal forcing from O'Dea et al., 2017 (https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2016.0325). ERSEM lateral boundary conditions from IPSL-CM5A-MR CMIP5 earth system model, rcp8.5 IPCC scenario (Dufresne et al., 2013 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00382-012-1636-1); Where variables were not present (e.g. plankton functional types) they were set to low values. ERSEM River Nutrient loads from Ciavatta et al., 2018, (https://doi.org/10.1002/2017JC013490) multiplied by river discharge. ERSEM athmospheric CO2 partial pressure from Riahi et al., 2007 (https://doi.org/10.5194/os-16-637-2020). ERSEM light attenuation coefficient from CMEMS ocean colour products (level 3 product 009_086, marine.copernicus.eu). ERSEM atmospheric Nitrogen deposition from the EMEP project (http://www.emep.int). Baltic lateral boundary conditions are climatological, being derived from the World Ocean Atlas (Boyer et al. 2018) for physics, and from a reanalysis product (Kay et al. 2020, https://catalogue.marine.copernicus.eu/documents/QUID/CMEMS-NWS-QUID-004-011.pdf) for biogeochemistry. Tidal forcing is as described in O’Dea et al. 2017 (10.5194/gmd-10-2947-2017).
