. In this evaluation study, the coupled atmosphere–ocean Adriatic Sea and Coast (AdriSC) climate model, which was implemented to carry out 31-yearevaluation and climate projection simulations in the Adriatic and northern Ionian seas, is briefly presented. The kilometre-scale AdriSCatmospheric results, derived with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) 3 km model for the 1987–2017 period, are then thoroughlycompared to a comprehensive publicly and freely available observational dataset. The evaluation shows that overall, except for the summer surfacetemperatures, which are systematically underestimated, the AdriSC WRF 3 km model has a far better capacity to reproduce surface climatevariables (and particularly the rain) than the WRF regional climate models at 0.11∘ resolution. In addition, several spurious data havebeen found in both gridded products and in situ measurements, which thus should be used with care in the Adriatic region for climate studies atlocal and regional scales. Long-term simulations with the AdriSC climate model, which couples the WRF 3 km model with a 1 km oceanmodel, might thus be a new avenue to substantially improve the reproduction, at the climate scale, of the Adriatic Sea dynamics driving the EasternMediterranean thermohaline circulation. As such it may also provide new standards for climate studies of orographically developed coastal regions ingeneral.
