This article describes the non‐hydrostatic dynamical core developed for the ICOsahedral
Non‐hydrostatic (ICON) modelling framework. ICON is a joint project of the German Weather …

ICON‐A is the new icosahedral nonhydrostatic (ICON) atmospheric general circulation
model in a configuration using the Max Planck Institute physics package, which originates …

State-of-the-art Earth system models typically employ grid spacings of O (100 km), which is
too coarse to explicitly resolve main drivers of the flow of energy and matter across the Earth …

Large‐eddy simulations (LES) with the new ICOsahedral Non‐hydrostatic atmosphere
model (ICON) covering Germany are evaluated for four days in spring 2013 using …

Improving Wind Energy Forecasting through Numerical Weather Prediction Model
Development in: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Volume 100 Issue 11 (2019) …

Over the coming decades, it is expected that the spatial pattern of anthropogenic aerosol will
change dramatically and the global aerosol composition will become relatively more …

The horizontal grid spacing of numerical weather prediction models keeps decreasing
towards the hectometric range. We perform limited‐area simulations with the Icosahedral …

An alternative form for a height-based terrain-following coordinate is presented here that
progressively smoothes the coordinate surfaces with height to remove smaller scale …

Four state-of-the-science numerical weather prediction (NWP) models were used to perform
mountain wave (MW)-resolving hindcasts over the Drake Passage of a 10-day period in …

We derive a formulation of the nonhydrostatic equations in spherical geometry with a Lorenz
staggered vertical discretization. The combination conserves a discrete energy in exact time …
