Project description:

SEACLIM (European SEAs CLIMate impact prediction through regional models) is a four-year European project advancing high-resolution decadal to multidecadal predictions of the marine environment to support climate resilience, ocean governance, and the blue economy.

By downscaling the latest global climate models and integrating them with regional ocean models from Copernicus Marine Service, SEACLIM provides detailed projections on ocean circulation, waves, sea ice, and marine biogeochemistry.

SEACLIM enables pre-operational decadal to multidecadal ocean predictions, developing new regional climate indicators to assess ocean health and coastal hazards. These insights will be integrated into the European Digital Twin of the Ocean, offering data-driven What-if Scenarios for policymakers, businesses, and coastal communities.

SEACLIM is a 4-year project, which started in January 2025 and will end in December 2028.
