Objectives
The joint development by DWD and MPI-M of the new non-hydrostatic weather and climate modelling framework ICON has made considerable progress in recent years. At DWD ICON (13 km grid spacing, 90 layers) has already replaced the former global NWP model GME (20 km grid spacing, 60 layers) for the operational weather forecast. The higher resolution European nest (6.5 km grid spacing) in ICON is also already operational and has replaced the regional model COSMO-EU (7km grid spacing, 40 layers). The ICON software and documentation are available to the scientific community (license agreement necessary). In the next years, COSMO will still be used in very high-resolution regional applications (COSMO-DE, COSMO-DE-EPS), but until 2021 the whole COSMO system is planned to be replaced entirely by the ICON modelling framework in cooperation with the COSMO Consortium and KIT (for the ART application). It is important for the CLM-Community to be prepared for a migration to the ICON modelling framework.
The aim of the project group is to prepare the ICON modelling framework for regional climate modelling applications. The main objectives are:
inform the community about the timelines and progress of the ICON development
prepare a working plan (plan of action) including an overview of the work packages necessary for using the ICON modelling framework in the context of regional climate studies and organizing its implementation,
design and conduct test suites of the new regional mode of the ICON model in comparison to COSMO-CLM model results,
and to present the results to the CLM-Community.
