Abstract. Operational ocean forecasts are typically produced by modelling systems run using a forced mode approach. The evolution of the state is not directly influenced surface waves, and dynamics driven an external source meteorological data which independent state. Model coupling provides one approach to increase extent forecast can represent interactions feedbacks between ocean, atmosphere seen in nature.
