Operational meteo-hydrological forecasting chains are affected by many sources of
uncertainty. In coastal areas characterized by complex topography, with several medium-to …

In response to an increasing demand for bespoke or tailored regional ocean modelling
configurations, we outline fundamental principles and practices that can expedite the …

Operational ocean forecasts are typically produced by modelling systems run using a forced
mode approach. The evolution of the ocean state is not directly influenced by surface waves …

The third version of the Regional Atmosphere and Land (RAL3) science configuration is
documented. Developed through international partnership, RAL configurations define …

Abstract The western Mediterranean Sea area is frequently affected in autumn by heavy
precipitation events (HPEs). These severe meteorological episodes, characterized by strong …

Many fundamental concepts of synoptic-scale extratropical dynamics are based on the quasi-
geostrophic equations of a dry atmosphere. This “dry dynamics” provides the essential …

Atmospheric forcing applied as ocean model boundary conditions can have a critical impact
on the quality of ocean forecasts. This paper assesses the sensitivity of an eddy-resolving …

The Met Office operational wave modelling system is an operational forecast system run four
times daily at the Met Office to provide global and regional forecasts up to 7 days ahead. The …

A new regional coupled modelling framework is introduced–the Regional Coupled Suite
(RCS). This provides a flexible research capability with which to study the interactions …

The interaction between waves, surges, and astronomical tides can lead to high coastal total
water level (TWL), which can in turn trigger coastal flooding. Here, a high-resolution (1.5 km) …
