Description

ICON is a weather and climate model used by the German Weather Service for global numerical weather prediction and the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology for climate modelling. The dynamical core is formulated on an icosahedral‐triangular Arakawa C-grid. The equation system of the ICON model is based upon the prognostic variables suggested by Gassmann and Herzog 2008 (https://doi.org/10.1002/qj.297).

For the two-way coupled atmosphere-ocean model ICONGETM (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4516568), the atmosphere model ICON is applied. Minor changes to the original ICON code were implemented for accessing the routines from the coupled model ICONGETM using ESMF/NUOPC.

Notes

This model version is updated with specific changes related for the ESMF interface. The pre-processing flag ESMF_coupling must be applied to compile the code with the changes.
