'''Icosahedral–Hexagonal Grids in Weather Prediction''' is- a newnumerical approach to weather, ocean and climat 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).
