🙌 🌐 2 projects using the #ICON model have been nominated for the prestigious Gordon Bell Prize for #ClimateModeling – THE recognition for #HPC:🏅
🔷An ICON simulation of the entire Earth system including the carbon cycle at 1.25 km resolution. It's a scientific & technological milestone!
🔷The Destination Earth Climate Adaptation Digital Twin. It uses simulations from ICON & IFS-FESOM/NEMO & makes climate information directly accessible.

🌍 Experience the Hamburg node at the WCRP Global KM-Scale Hackathon 2025 🎥

🗓️ In May, over 600 scientists and researchers joined forces across 10 global locations to take part in the first-ever global climate modelling #hackathon, organized by the World Climate Research Programme and supported by initiatives like WarmWorld, EERIE I European Eddy-Rich Earth System Models, Destination Earth, ESMO, and #nextGEMS.

🇩🇪 One of the largest nodes was hosted by the @MPI_Meteo in Hamburg📍 , where more than 120 participants from around the world came together. They spent a week collaborating with local science teams, exploring cutting-edge research, and working with data from the latest
#ICON and #IFS–FESOM model runs.

🌐 From Europe to Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Americas, this was a truly global effort to advance kilometer-scale #ClimateModelling.

🎬 Curious to see what it was like? We’ve captured the energy and collaboration of the Hamburg node in a short video. Come take a look!

🚨 Video alert! Our latest multimedia piece is out and we are excited to share it with you ▶️

🔎 What is this video about?: The visualizations in this video provide a colorful and creative representation of our modelling endeavors. Additionally, the captivating images demonstrate the playful fluctuations of various components of our Earth system, including clouds, aerosols, thermal radiation, and temperature, over the course of the present and future years — specifically between 2021 and 2030.

📽️ Video creation: This illustrative work has been produced with the Earth System models used by #nextGEMS: ICON and IFS-FESOM. #ICON is a model was developed by the @MPI_Meteo and the German Climate Computing Center, while hashtag#IFS-FESOM developed by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.

A favorite of mine, Windy.com -- which has had significant upgrades!

"In 2021, two new #ICON forecast models were integrated - ICON-D2 with local coverage for central and west #Europe and ICON Global. Thousands of new air quality stations monitoring primary pollutants worldwide were added from our partners #OpenAQ and #PurpleAir to fight #AirInequality.

"Several new layers were launched - Tidal currents featuring high-resolution data; the Sea currents dataset was updated; Thermals layer with soaring forecast for glider and paraglider pilots; Drought monitoring layers - Soil moisture, Moisture anomaly, and #Drought intensity, monitoring global drought.

"We also expanded into the wear OS category and introduced Windy Apple Watch App. The 3D Globe mode was brought back for most layers (desktop only), including the Hurricane Tracker.

"In 2022, we launched several new features and improved existing ones. In the beginning of the year, we added a new #radioactivity set of stations as a POI overlay and partnered with SaveEcoBot, run by a non-profit organisation SaveDnipro, and obtained a broad spectrum of environmental data sources in #Ukraine and offer them in an easy-to-access way to our users and other affected communities for free.
New local models HRRR for the US and ACCESS model for Australia were added, along with a set of layers wet-bulb temperature, UV Index and Solar power.
With release of iOS16, the Windy.com iOS app got LockScreen widgets, which can be placed on the phones's locked screen. A new significant iOS feature.

"For the #HurricaneSeason, we launched redesigned and upgraded our Hurricane Tracker and added multimodel forecast & LIVE satellite visualization. Users in the US could also appreciate an improved radar resolution and coverage."

🇬🇧 This painting of wool shows the second female icon, namely Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn, or also: Norma Jeane, was an iconic actress, model, singer and sex symbol of Hollywood in the 50s. In the media she was dismissed as a 'dumb blonde', but in fact she was extremely intelligent and loved literature and philosophy.

I made the painting of Bheda wool on needle fleece using the needle felting technique. The painting is in an embroidery hoop and has a diameter of 31 cm.

🇾🇪 Op dit schilderij van wol is het tweede vrouwelijke icoon te zien, namelijk Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn, of ook wel: Norma Jeane, was een iconische actrice, fotomodel, zangeres en sekssymbool van Hollywood in de jaren 50. In de media werd zij weggezet als ‘dom blondje’, maar eigenlijk was ze buitengewoon intelligent en hield van literatuur en filosofie.

Het schilderij heb ik gemaakt van Bhedawol op naaldvlies door middel van de naaldvilttechniek. Het schilderij zit in een borduurring en heeft een diameter van 31 cm.
