New model on Windy: ICON vs. COSMO-EU vs. COSMO-DE
-
Do you have decided which model you will add first?
-
It will be ICON-EU
-
@ivo
Do you plan to add it to Windy as a X-mas gift? -
I have to say, I am very excited to use the new ICON-EU (Former COSMO-EU). Especially because I am going to Europe on two separate trips next year. I will probably use this a lot over there.
-
So far ECMWF rocks over EU a probably also worldwide. But we will see how ICON will look
-
ICON certainly the best in future ...(isocahedric model!)
thanks ! your job is very interisting and fine ! -
ICON (EU) has a good performance, especially in coastal regions. Would be great to have it on windy.com.
Is the implementation already scheduled?
-
Backed is finished thx to @dzuremar . Now we have to implement it to the client
-
@lrg-mitglied I am not sure that form of a grid is so important for model quality.
-
@ivo
in my opinion, the future of weather modelling is MPAS (Model for Prediction Across Scales) which uses a flexible grid configuration that gradually refines to a high spatial grid resolution in the area of interest (see image for USA) or in an area with complex terain (see the Andes mountains, South America). In such a flexible mesh we save computational effort compared to a global model using the same high spatial grid resolution.
