Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Mean climatological surface chlorophyll- a (Chla) concentration (mg m −3 ) in the NW Mediterranean (see text for definition) from MODIS data (2003–2015). ( b ) Mean surface Chla (mg m −3 ) spatial distribution for the blooming period (vertical bars in panel a) from MODIS data (2003–2015). Maps were created by the authors using MATLAB software vR2014b ( https://it.mathworks.com/products/matlab/matlab-graphics.html ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Climatological seasonal mixed layer depth (m) on the NW Mediterranean (see text for definition) computed by the model for the 2000–2015 period. Black circles mean daily value, gray lines standard deviation range. ( b ) Mean mixed layer depth (m) during the convective period (from day 18 to day 110) during the simulation period (2000–2015). ( c ) Accumulated number of days during the simulation period (2000–2015) in which the mixed layer depth exceed the 1000 m threshold. ( d ) Scatter plot of the mean mixed layer depth distribution (panel b) versus the mean MODIS surface chlorophyll map during the blooming period (Fig. ). Maps were created by the authors using MATLAB software vR2014b ( https://it.mathworks.com/products/matlab/matlab-graphics.html ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Mean surface water circulation for the hindcast simulation (2010–2015). Background color indicate the mean velocity (m s-1) while the black arrows show the direction. The magenta line indicate the region occupied by the Northern Current (see text for details). ( b ) Same as a) but for the ENSEMBLE simulation. ( c ) Mean kinetic energy of the Northern Current (the magenta area in panel a) for the hindcast (black line) and the four different scenarios (colored lines). ( d ) Relative anomaly (in %) of the mean kinetic energy of the North Current in the different scenarios with respect to the hindcast simulation. Maps were created by the authors using MATLAB software vR2014b ( https://it.mathworks.com/products/matlab/matlab-graphics.html ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Climatological sea surface temperature (SST) in the NW Mediterranean for the hindcast (thick gray line), for the ENSEMBLE simulation (thick black line) and for the individual members of the ENSEMBLE (thin black lines). ( b ) The same as a) but for sea surface salinity (SSS). ( c ) The same as (a) but for surface density. ( d ) Scatter plot of the anomalies (ENSEMBLE – hindcast) of SST versus surface density. The linear regression is shown as a gray line. ( e ) Mean surface density anomaly (ENSEMBLE – hindcast) map.
