❗Our results show that coupled models reduce uncertainty in medicane simulations and should be prioritized for flood risk and coastal impact modeling. 🌊🏘️

Key findings:
🔹 Coupling the ocean improves SST and storm intensity
🔹 AOW setups produce stronger latent heat flux & more realistic eye shape at the center of the medicane
🔹 Standalone runs overestimate wind & underestimate SST
🔹 Wave coupling improves cyclone depth

We simulated 16 medicanes over the Med-CORDEX domain using four configurations:
✅ Standalone atmosphere
✅ Standalone wave
✅ Atmosphere–ocean (AO)
✅ Atmosphere–ocean–wave (AOW)

Thank you @climatedann.bsky.social ! Yes, I've seen it—excellent work. We cited it in our paper.

Hi Katharine, I would be happy to be included. I am adding the info now. Thanks!
