Abstract All atmospheric General Circulation Models (GCMs) need some form of dissipation,
either explicitly specified or inherent in the chosen numerical schemes for the spatial and …

The design of the icosahedral dynamical core DYNAMICO is presented. DYNAMICO solves
the multi-layer rotating shallow-water equations, a compressible variant of the same …

As part of a broader effort to develop next-generation models for numerical weather
prediction and climate applications, a hydrostatic atmospheric dynamical core is developed …

Higher-order finite-volume flux operators for transport algorithms used within Runge–Kutta
time integration schemes on irregular Voronoi (hexagonal) meshes are proposed and …

We present an adaptive discretization approach for model equations typical of numerical
weather prediction (NWP), which combines the semi‐Lagrangian technique with a semi …

ABSTRACT A global dataset of lake coverage and lake depth was developed for use in
numerical weather prediction and climate modelling. It provides the global gridded …

This article describes the implementation of grid refinement in the ICOsahedral
Nonhydrostatic (ICON) modeling system. It basically follows the classical two-way nesting …

C-grid discretizations based on a hexagonal or triangular mesh can be investigated with the
help of a planar trivariate coordinate system, where the vector components are either …

One important tool at our disposal to evaluate the robustness of Global Circulation Models
(GCMs) is to understand the horizontal discretization of the dynamical core under a shallow …

A strategy for evaluating a global shallow water model based on aspects of kinetic energy
spectra and nonlinear vorticity dynamics is proposed in this study. The kinetic energy …
