The study aims to set up and evaluate a high-resolution model for simulating tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic.
Combined Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) and Coastal and Regional Ocean Community (CROCO) models
Achieved spatial resolutions of 9 km and 18 km, respectively
Simulated a hindcast ensemble of 15 historical tropical cyclones
Utilized an automated detection algorithm for TC tracks and intensities
Compared simulated data with observational data from International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS)
Coupled model demonstrated good performance in simulating TC trajectories
Mean distance error for TC centers was 176 km
Median intensity difference was 6.4%, slightly overestimating intensity
High accuracy for specific storms like Dennis (2005) and Fiona (2022), but larger errors for storms like Eta (2020)
Identified computational expense and sensitivity to model configurations as limitations
