The evolution and intensity of marine-developed storms are strongly linked to air-sea interface activities. In particular, during the various stages of Mediterranean cyclonic episodes, air-ocean temperature differences play a significant effect. As a result, there is a greater demand for improved information and depiction of Sea Surface Temperature (SST). This paper attempts to analyse the impact and uncertainty of SST from various well-known datasets on the life-cycle of Mediterranean cyclones. The RAMS/ICLAMS-WAM coupled modelling system incorporates daily SST fields from the Real Time Global SST (RTG SST) and hourly SST fields from the Operational SST and Sea Ice Ocean Analysis (OSTIA) and the NEMO ocean circulation model.
