ICOsahedral Non-hydrostatic Atmospheric Model - model core formulation
on triangular and hexagonal C-grids
Almut Gassmann (Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, Germany) Günther Zängl (Deutscher Wetterdienst, Offenbach (Main), Germany)
and the ICON group at MPI-M and DWD
ICONAM
ICON: tool for NWP and climate applicationsWishes for the project some years ago:
non-hydrostatic atmospheric model
dynamics in grid point space
triangular icosahedron grid
local zooming with static or dynamic grid refinement
transport scheme: conservative, positive definit, efficient
dynamics conserves mass, energy, potential vorticity, and potential enstrophy
coupling to ocean model, atmospheric chemistry, hydrology, and land model
modulartity
portability
scalability and efficiency on multicore architectures
