MMDFs for the DWD-ICON global forecast model for various Arctic sites

By laraf |

Merged model Data Files (MMDFs) from DWD’s ICON are available from February 2018 onwards containing 7.5-day forecasts starting at 00 and 12 UTC for Sodankylä, Ny-Ålesund, and Utqiaġvik (Barrow). The mesh width is 13 km. Different model versions are used during this period. In February icon-nwp-2.1.02 was used followed by icon-2.3.0-nwp0 during 2018-02-14 to 2028-06-06, and from 2018-09-19 to 2018-12-05 icon-2.3.0-nwp2 was in operation. Since 2018-02-14, a new orographic data set came in operations, however, for the 3 data points provided the changes were less than 1 m in height.
