- •
An exceptional cold spell stroke the northern Adriatic sea during winter 2012.
- •
We describe the event using a fully coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave modeling approach.
- •
Atmosphere-coupled ocean produces improved heat fluxes and air temperatures estimates.
- •
Model coupling improves dense water properties and dynamics description.
- •
Implications of coupling affect density and kinetic energy of the whole basin.
