Recommended ICON Namelist Settings

It is necessary for the user to choose the ICON settings carefully. Part of the values listed in are recommended to obtain a stable ICON-ART simulation with scientifically reasonable results. Another part is necessary to enable ART features like aerosol-cloud-interactions.

Recommended ICON namelist settings for ART tracers.
Parameter Value Namelist Description
dtime - run_nml If facing stability problems, it is recommended to use a shorter time step as recommended by operational setups (e.g. 0.5*dtime).
inwp_gscp 4 nwp_phy_nml Standard value is 1. Set this to 4 for aerosol-cloud-interactions within ICON-ART. Note, that you will still need to set iart_aci_warm and iart_aci_cold < 0 .
irad_aero 6 radiation_nml aerosol optical properties are taken from climatology
9 optical properties depend on aerosol concentrations (set iart_ari = 1 in art_nml )

ART Namelists

ICON-ART has an own namelist to modify the setup of ART simulations at runtime. The main switch for ART, lart, is located inside run_nml. The namelist for the other ART switches is called art_nml.

A naming convention is used in order to show the type of data. An INTEGER namelist parameter starts with iart_, a REAL namelist parameter starts with rart_, a LOGICAL namelist parameter starts with lart_, and a CHARACTER namelist parameter starts with cart_.

The ICON-ART namelist is located in the module src/namelists/mo_art_nml.f90. General namelist parameters are listed and explained within . Namelist parameters for ART input are listed within . Namelist parameters related to atmospheric chemistry are listed within . Namelist parameters related to aerosol physics are listed within . Namelist parameters related to feedback processes between aerosols and meteorological variables are listed in . Finally, namelist parameters related to physics parameterizations in ICON are listed in.
