AB: The next generation Ocean-Atmosphere coupled models for Hurricane Prediction at NCEP include a triple nested atmospheric model (GFS-fix, HWRF coarse-moving and HWRF fine) coupled to a double nested ocean model (RTOFS-HYCOM). A sensitivity study of (numerical and physical) model parameters for storms derived from the historical record, available observations, and other modeling results are used to guide the calibration of the nested ocean model component.
