Wind of Barbados turned to light in Stockholm
Nobel Week Lights 2023 kicked off in Stockholm on Monday. The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) provides data from its Barbados Cloud…
Revisiting the Blue Marble: ICON simulating the coupled climate system at 1 km
The early 1970s is often associated with the birth of the modern environmental movement. In 1970 the first Earth day was celebrated, and Greenpeace…
SC21 Best Visualization Award for MPI-M, DKRZ, University Stockholm, and Intel Corporation
A joint team of the German Climate Computing Centre (DKRZ), the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M), the Stockholm University, and the Intel…
Towards small scale processes in large scale climate models — 3D visualisation of clouds
This visualisation illustrates the vision to simulate small-scale processes explicitly on a global scale, thus reducing the need for parametrisations…
ICON Ozean Model Atlantic
The first movie shows the result of a simulation with the ocean model ICON-O at a global resolution of 5km, depicting a close-up of the circulation…
Submesoscale telescope experiment
The video shows the visualisation of the “submesoscale telescope experiment” with the ICON ocean model ICON-O. The model was run on a grid with a…
ICON Ocean Model (5 km) Spilhaus projection
The movie shows a simulation of ICON-O at a global resolution of 5km using a Spilhaus projection for the visualization of global ocean model data.
Project Retrograde — imagine Earth rotated in the opposite direction
The rotation of Earth shapes our climate system in various ways: It controls the major wind directions, lets the weather systems swirl, and, together…
ICON-ESM – MPI-M´s next-generation Earth system model
Climate and Earth system models are applied to simulate the past, present, and projected future climate, and to advance understanding of processes…
HD(CP)² - cloud-resolving simulation over Germany through ICON HighRes
It has been a long-standing question whether climate change can be traced back to human activities. In order to answer it more precisely and to…
