The paper describes and analyzes the sensitivity of an ope rational atmospheric model to different SST (sea surface temperature) estimates. The model’s sensitivity has been analyzed in a Medicane (Mediterranean hurricane) test case. Numerical simulations have been performed using th e COSMO (consort...
