In this chapter different types of coupling of regional atmosphere- and ocean models are described. Based on four rather different maritime seas (Mediterranean, North Sea, Baltic Sea and Arctic Ocean) the specific requirements of these seas to coupled atmosphere-ocean model systems are described. This is complemented by examples taken from scientific practice.
