(Last access to URL 25 June 2024). with the observations, and the model was able to correctly reproduce even near-shore sea level variations. Under the RCP8.5 future scenario, the temperature is projected to generally increase, while the surface salinity decreases in the portion of the Mediterranean affected by the penetration of the Atlantic stream and increases elsewhere. The warming of sea waters results in the partial inhibition of deep-water formation. The scenario simulation allows for a detailed characterization of the regional patterns of future sea level due to ocean dynamics and indicates a relative sinking of the Mediterranean with respect to the Atlantic, more pronounced than the current one.
