Overview

ICON-ART

is

a

state-of-the-science

seamless

model

system

for

the

whole

atmosphere

(physics

and

composition)

that

comprises

the

key

components

of

the

next

generation

Earth

sys-

tem

model

in

Germany.

ICON

is

a

global

weather

and

climate

model

solves

the

full

three-

dimensional

non-hydrostatic

and

compressible

Navier-Stokes

equations

on

an

icosahedral

grid

and

allows

seamless

predictions

from

local

to

global

scales.

Aerosol

and

Reactive

Trace

gases

(ART),

as

a

submodule

of

ICON,

supplements

the

model

by

including

emissions,

transport,

gas

phase

chemistry,

and

aerosol

dynamics

in

the

troposphere

and

stratosphere

(as

seen

in

fgure

<a href="pg_0006.htm#link_bookmark_52">1.1</a> ).

Capabilities

of

ICON-ART

and

how

they

relate

to

each

other.

Being

a

seamless

model

makes

it

possible

to

use

ART

to

simulate

processes

overarching

multiple

scales,

like

the

emission

of

greenhouse

gases,

aerosol-cloud

interactions

and

atmo-

spheric

chemistry

as

indicated

in

fgure

<a href="pg_0007.htm#link_bookmark_53">1.2</a> .

It

also

enables

its

use

as

a

prediction

tool

for

the

production

of

renewable

energy.
