Our study investigates the effects of air-sea coupling on IV of the regional atmospheric model COSMO-CLM (CCLM) of the new regional coupled system model GCOAST-AHOI (Geesthacht Coupled cOAstal model SysTem - Atmosphere, Hydrology, Ocean and Sea Ice). We specifically address physical processes parameterized in CCLM, which may cause a large IV during an extreme event, and where this IV is affected by the air-sea coupling. Analyses focus on specific events during this period, especially on the storm Christian occurring from 27 to 29 October 2013 in northern Europe.}, note = {Hagemann, H.; Hagemann, S.; Grayek, S.; Petrik, R.; Rockel, B.; Staneva, J.; Feser, F.; Schrum, C.: Internal model variability of the regional coupled system model GCOAST-AHOI.
