Short summary
Simulated surface winds in atmospheric models depend, among others, on the parameterization of the sea surface roughness. Three parameterizations (variation of Charnock parameter) were tested in the western Mediterranean area during Mistral events with the regional climate model COSMO-CLM. While the whole sea level pressure pattern did not change much, a larger Charnock parameter led to lower wind speeds and a rotation of the wind direction.
