Role of wave coupling in the simulation of tropical storm Choi-wan (2021) using a coupled ocean-atmosphere model by Haofeng Xia, Haofeng Xia, Haofeng Xia, Shuai Tang, Shuai Tang, Jie Chen, Shengtao Du, Wuhong Guo, Wuhong Guo

“…Wave-current coupling also impacts significant wave height distributions, particularly in storm-affected regions, where coupled simulations yield more realistic patterns compared to uncoupled runs. Furthermore, the inclusion of wave-current interactions enhances the accuracy of simulated ocean currents, reflecting the intensifications and directional changes caused by the storm. …”
