Modelling
This page is under contruction and the plots for ICON-SCM, ICON-CRM and ICON-LEM can change at a later stage due to adaptions in the experiment settings.
The plots show a comparison between observations and model forecast by ICON in its different configurations. ICON-D2 is an operational run in limited area mode with 2.2 km horizontal resolution with NWP physics. ICON-Global is an operational run on the globe. The semi-idealistic simulations, ICON-SCM (Single Column Mode), ICON-CRM (Cloud Resolving Mode), and ICON-LEM (Large Eddy Mode) are driven by idealized 1D-forcings and run on a periodic torus grid. This has to be taken into account when comparing these two groups of simulations. While qualitative comparison is always possible between observations, realistic simulations (ICON-D2 and ICON-Global) and semi-idealistic simulations (ICON-SCM, ICON-CRM, and ICON-LEM), quantitative comparison is consistent only in each group (rows). See the bottom of this page for a detailed information of the shown data.
