The document discusses simulations using the coupled atmosphere-ocean model DYAMOND-II, which integrates the IFS atmospheric model with the FESOM2 ocean model. It describes work done by scientists at the Alfred Wegener Institute and ECMWF to develop a single executable version of the coupled model to better represent processes like tropical cyclones. Examples of sea surface temperature and sea ice concentration forecasts highlight improved representation of ocean feedbacks in the coupled model configuration. Ongoing and planned simulations are outlined to study ocean-atmosphere-sea ice interactions with high-resolution atmospheric and ocean grids.
