<p dir="auto">It seems that IFS takes into account the altitude of the location which is not the case of ICON-EU. Look the two following screenshots for the same location which is roughly at 500m, at the same moment :</p>
<p dir="auto">ISO 0°C with ECMWF (IFS)<br />

<p dir="auto">ISO 0°C with ICON-EU<br />
<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1617617557972-45f867cc-d464-4e0e-91da-461c4be8f9e3.jpeg" alt="45F867CC-D464-4E0E-91DA-461C4BE8F9E3.jpeg" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">As you can easily see, the delta between the 2 values is 500m so the exact altitude of the location. If you choose other locations, you will see the same behaviour. There is always a delta fitting more or less with the altitude of the location, and not because the models are giving two different values,...</p>
<p dir="auto">This means that the data of the 2 maps are not coming from the same calculation. IFS is given the altitude of the isotherm 0°C using the location as a reference so here 200m above Hockai (200+500=700m) while ICON-EU seems to give the altitude of the isotherm with the sea level as a reference.</p>

Great news ! Now this layer will really useful for winter activities in mountains knowing the altitude of the 0°C isotherm.</p>

Thanks for the reference to the old post. I did a search but didn’t find it</p>
