'''Icosahedral–HexagonalIcosahedral–hexagonal Gridsgrids in Weatherweather Predictionprediction''' -are used in a numerical approach to weather, ocean and climate prediction which uses [[geodesic]] grids generated from an [[icosahedron]] and could become an attractive alternative to current climate models.

The original works of the use of the icosahedral grid in the geophysical problem date back to Williamson (1968) and Sadourny ''et al.'' (1968). These works were followed by (Williamson, 1969; Cullen, 1974; Cullen and Hall, 1979; Masuda and Ohnishi, 1986).
