The GME-Aqua-Planet
hydrostatic finite difference model based on an icosahedron
icosahedron: ni = 203rd refinement: ni = 23
investigations of the interaction between small and large scale processes in global atmospheric flows
investigations on self-organization in idealized global atmospheric flows with “realistic” physics
development and testing of new convection and cloud schemes
GME-Aqua-Planet as a tool for:
Influence of cloud-ice on the General Circulation
