Check out our newest milestone, which presents the progress achieved in the regional assessment of marine extreme indicators.

The assessment covers the following three main types of extremes:

• Marine heatwaves (MHW), which have been analysed in the Nordic and Barents Seas, as well as in the Mediterranean Sea,
• Sea level extremes, which have been assessed in the Nordic and Barents Seas and over the European shelf,
• Sea ice extremes, which have been evaluated in the Arctic region.

The milestone provides an update on the work carried out so far in the assessment of the marine extreme indicators within Task 5.3 “Skill assessment of climate-relevant marine extreme indicators from ESMs”. The indicators considered were those proposed in milestone MS5. This milestone, together with the deliverables D4.1 “Sea ice Essential Ocean Variables uncertainties”, D4.4 “Sea Level Assessment” and D4.5 “Marine Heat Waves Assessment”, contributes to refining and updating the definition of the marine extreme indicators, which will be consolidated in their final form in Deliverable D3.2 “Extreme indicators”. 

All the results from these reports will also be summarised in the final deliverable of task 5.3, the D.5.3 “Marine extreme indicators in ESMs”.
