ICON templates

There are a few templates for ICON-ART runs built into auto-icon. The following table will give you an overview over the different cases:

Template name	Notes
ALLAERO_NORAD (a)	Externally mixed natural aerosols without aerosol-radiation interaction.
DUST_NOAERODYN	Basic testcase for dust simulation without aerodyn module.
DUST_RAD (a)	Initialization and processes similar to DWD set-up for operational dust forecast.
ERA5_DUST_REINIT	Same as DUST_NOAERODYN with starting from ERA5 data with daily reinitialization of meteorology.
ICON_ART_LES	Simple LES dust simulation.
IFS_DUST_REMAP	Similar as DUST_NOAERODYN with IFS input remapped with auto-icon.
LAM_DUST	Limited area run for a dust simulation and with the creation of a grid file.
LAM_OEM (a)	Online emission module with passive tracers based on TNO emissions.
NWP_EXT_DATA	Simple chemistry test run.
NWP_GASPHASE (a, b)	NWP_GASPHASE
NWP_LIFETIME (a, b)	NWP_LIFETIME
REINIT_CHEM	Simple aerosol aeging example and test run with daily reinitialization of chemistry data.
VOLAERO_RAD (a)	ART tutorial example Simulating a point source; Raikoke simulation published in ACP, Muser er al. 2020, point source is tested too. (c)

(a) ART Standard case; Retrieval of input data for these cases is build into auto-icon already.

(b) These cases use ART code licensed under the GPL license. In order to use these, you have to compile ICON with --enable-art-gpl and accept the GPL license.

(c) The tutorial examples are written for the runscript approach but are also running out of the box with auto-icon. You can still check out the guides (along with the guide to transform a runscript to auto-icon) to learn more about how ART works, once you are familiar with running auto-icon.
