Influence of the initial guess on the number iterations
Testing the influence of the initial guess on the number of iterations needed The setup is as follows: Start a ex_plex_rrtmg_fish simulation with a fish (torus) mesh with 553 columns and 65 levels and solve for direct radiation. The spectral integration goes over the 112 solar and 140 thermal spectral …

Phase Diagram of param_phi and param_theta
The current implementation / handling of critical azimuth and zenith angles for ICON wedges: For a given Wedge Element out of an ICON Mesh, we define the side face which is most illuminated by the sun as the Base-face. In clockwise rotation we then have a left and right face. E …

Conference in Berlin, Poster Presentation on PlexRT, UCP2019
On this years international conference, the UCP2019 in Berlin I presented a poster with latest news and developments on the radiative transfer solver for the next generation numerical weather prediciton model, ICON. UCP stands for Understanding Clouds and Precitipation and it was the de-facto wrap up conference for the HDCP2 …
