NextGEMS Cycle 3 simulation with ICON R2B9: temperature and surface ocean velocity at 5 km res.

Visualization of the temperature and the velocity magnitude at the ocean's surface of a simulation with a coupled global setup of ICON/ICON-O at a horizontal resolution of ~5 km. The temperature is encoded by color , while the velocity magnitude can be depicted by height mapping of the flow field (ParaView: Extrusion Surface).
The simulation was carried out on DKRZ's supercomputer Levante.The visualization covers more than 5 simulated years and is based on daily data. One the one hand, the visualization shows slowly moving ocean currents, on the other hand, quickly moving weather patterns such as storms are also reflected in the surface ocean velocity.
Simulation: MPI-M / DKRZ
Visualization: Michael Böttinger, DKRZ
