'''Icosahedral–Hexagonal Grids in Weather Prediction''' - numerical 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.

Line 4 ⟶ 8:

In the 1990s, several research groups have developed icosahedral gridpoint General circulation models using their own new techniques such as, [[GME of Deutscher Wetterdienst]] for the numerical prediction model (Majewski et al., 2002)., ICON GCM: ICOsahedral Non-hydrostatic General Circulation Model joint project between Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) and the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD), CSU AGCM (Atmospheric General Circulation Model) at Colorado State University (Heikes and Randall 1995a, b; Randall et al., 2000, Randall et al., 2002; Ringler et al.,2000) and Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric model of Frontier Research Center for Global Change (Tomita et. al., 2001,2002; Tomita and Satoh, 2004).
