Regional climate simulations by ENEA

The simulation data are distributed on the ENEA THREDDS server.

Table 1 reports a list of the simulations on the NextData archive is reported with the domain, model used, boundary conditions and the period of the simulations.

Table 2 reports the available variables on the NextData archive for each CIRCE simulation from ENEA unit

Table 3 reports the available variables on the NextData archive for each CORDEX simulation from ENEA unit.
