  12. 5.4Plan on use in 2019 of the license money Activity proposal planning from IMGW, MCH, ReMet, ARPAE, IMS, NMA, RHM, HNMS • Available 2019 (minus 20% taxes) • 100000 Euro;   • Available 2019 – Approved (until 15 march 2019) • (100000 – 62787) = 37213 Euro • Planned in 2019 (from 16 march 2019) • 22910 Euro; • Available 2019 – Approved – Planned • (37213 – 22910) = 14303 Euro; Roughestimates • Approved in 2018 • 39026 Euro; • Approved in 2019 (until 15 march 2019) • 18655 Euro; • Total Approved • 62787 Euro

  13. 5.4Plan on use in 2019 of the license money 2019 funds from license money are less than 2018 ones. High Priority to PP/PT/WG activities (possibly for people of different Institutes) Participations to meetings in non-European countries or with a significant registration fee need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

  14. 6. COSMO-LEPS • ECMWF computing resources for COSMO-LEPSfor 2019 • 2018 figures are about 10% higher than for 2017 • 2019 figures are about 5% higher than for 2018 • 2019 request: computer-time : 68 million SBU and disk-space : 30 TB • Germany 49.35% • Greece 7.95% • Italy 29.14% • Switzerland 13.56% • These costs would cover:1) the operational activity of COSMO-LEPS;2) the experimental runs of COSMO-LEPS (test and migration at 5km)

  17. 14.5Workflow and governance for ICON-LAM devel.

  18. 16.Cooperationbetween ICON and COSMO Formalization of the implication of COSMO in the development of ICON Furthersteps are planned with the integration of KIT and DKRZ • The future role of COSMO is mentioned in the COSMO-strategy approved by the directors in 2013 and in the COSMO agreement of 2014. ANNEX F to the COSMO-Agreement: Relation to ICON Developers at DWD and MPI-M • document outlines the relation between the COSMO and its special development partners, DWD and Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg in the framework of ICON. • Up to now the foreseen Annex F could not be formulated and signed, because the ICON-agreement between DWD and MPI-M was not signed.

  19. 16.2Annex F to the COSMO agreement Approval of changes related to the cooperation with ICON developers ………… Oldparagraph 1 ……………… Integrated Forecasting System developed and operated by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (www.ecmwf.int) In a third phase every COSMO-Partner may replace the COSMO-model by ICON-LAM for its R&D as well as for official duty activities. COSMO takes over the responsibility for further development and maintenance of ICON-LAM for NWP applications. ICON-LAM is considered as COSMO-Software (see Annex A) giving all COSMO-Partners the same rights of use as for COSMO-model. Annex A specifies also the intellectual property rights, rights of use and licensing responsibilities of the ICON-LAM.

  20. 16.2Annex F to the COSMO agreement Approval of changesrelated to the cooperation with ICON developers Oldparagraph 2 DWD, MPI-M and COSMO-Partners closely cooperate in the maintenance and further development of ICON-model, in which cooperation COSMO is being responsible for • Development and maintenance of ICON-LAM for NWP applications. • Development of common physics package for NWP applications at different resolutions of ICON-LAM and COSMO-model • Detailed verification studies of ICON-LAM in comparison to the COSMO-model for R&D applications and official duty activities

  21. 16.2Annex F to the COSMO agreement Approval of changes related to the cooperation with ICON developers Oldparagraph 3 (1) The coordination between COSMO-Partners and ICON Developers is organized as follows Information is exchanged regularly between COSMO-Partners and ICON Developers, e.g. at the annual meetings: ICCARUS, COSMO General Meeting and at the ICON developers’ meetings. DWD and MPI-M provide new versions of the ICON source code regularly to COSMO for evaluation and testing in the framework of ICON-LAM for NWP applications.

  22. 16.2Annex F to the COSMO agreement Approval of changes related to the cooperation with ICON developers Oldparagraph 3 (2) • An ICON-Representative participates at the COSMO SMC meetings. In the first and second phases, he is responsible to regularly check the new developments of the COSMO physics and to initiate the corresponding insertion procedure into ICON. In the third phase, he is responsible to coordinate new developments of ICON-LAM by COSMO-Partners with the ICON Developers. He reports on the status of the insertion requests to the COSMO SMC. • A COSMO-Representative participates at the ICON developers’ meetings. In the first and second phases, he is responsible to regularly check the new developments of the ICON physics and to initiate the corresponding insertion procedure into COSMO model. In the third phase, he is responsible to coordinate new developments of ICON-LAM by COSMO with the ICON Developers. He reports on the status of the insertion requests to the COSMO SMC.

  23. 16.2Annex F to the COSMO agreement Approval of changesrelated to the cooperation with ICON developers Oldparagraph 3 (3) The COSMO mechanisms like PP/PT/Source Code Management with COSMO bodies will be applied to ICON-LAM from the third phase on. For all changes affecting the ICON global mode MPI-M and DWD will be in charge of testing and tuning model parameters for the global and climate applications. If the changes proposed by COSMO have a negative impact on the global applications they must be encapsulated and restricted to ICON-LAM.
