ICON-ART: Corinna Hoose and Ali Hoshyaripour
Aerosol and Reactive Trace gases (ART) is a component of the ICON modeling framework that enables explicit treatment of atmospheric composition and its interactions with clouds and radiation. ART encompasses emission, transport and removal processes of trace gases and aerosols in the troposphere and stratosphere along with their transformations due to chemistry and aerosol microphysics.

ICON-A: Roland Potthast
For the representation of the atmosphere, ICON includes a non-hydrostatic dynamical core operating on a icosahedral-triangular Arakawa C grid. Physics parameterizations for radiation, cloud microphysics (1- or 2-moment) and turbulence are always used, while orographic drag, subgrid cloud cover, and deep and shallow convection are parameterized or not depending on the configuration.
