Short summary

We developed a new modeling system that combines air, ocean, and wave processes to better understand hurricanes. Using Hurricane Henri as a test case, we found that including ocean and wave interactions improves the accuracy of storm intensity and wind patterns. These results show that accounting for these interactions is important for assessing risks to offshore energy systems and coastal regions.
