CBLAST-Hurricane Coupled Atmosphere-Wave-Ocean Modeling Atmosphere-Ocean coupling improves tropical cyclone intensity forecasts, especially at very high resolution when eyewalls are explicitly resolved. Wind-Wave coupling contributes to storm asymmetry that very significantly from storm-to-storm. Simple 3DUOM+Satellite SST works well over the open ocean. However, full ocean model, e.g. HYCOM, is needed for the coastal regions and over the Gulf Stream and warm eddies. Conclusions
