Surface temperature too high

Hi everyone, I am currently working on a configuration on the Gulf of Lion and I an stuck because my results show a surface temperature too high compare to buoy data or Mercator. I initialize to model with MERCATOR data and use these as climatology and I use the bulk formulation with AROME dataset. Here is my cppdefs.h C:\fakepath\cppdefs.h

As you can see on the following pictures the model estimate a surface temperature that is too high compare to mercator reference.

The heat fluxes seems well calculated by the model. My guess is that the influence of the winds on the temperature cooling is underestimated but maybe I have missed something on the configuration.

Thanks in advance
