ICON‐A, The Atmosphere Component of the ICON Earth System Model: II. Model Evaluation

Abstract We evaluate the new icosahedral nonhydrostatic atmospheric (ICON‐A) general circulation model of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology that is flexible to be run at grid spacings from a few tens of meters to hundreds of kilometers. A simulation with ICON‐A at a low resolution (160 km) is...
