The COSMO model is the
unified non-hydrostatic limited area model for operational weather forecast
(COSMO), environmental (ART) and regional climate modelling (CLM) and research.
The weather mode was originally developed in 1999 by the German Weather Service
and is now maintained and further developed by the consortium of weather
services COSMO. The CLimate Mode (CLM) is applied and further developed since
2005 by the Climate Limited-area Modelling (CLM) Community and the
environmental mode ART, originally
developed by KIT Karlsruhe, is maintained and further developed since
2009 by the ART scientific users.
An overview of the
status of the model system and of the management of the model development will
be given with emphasis on the CLM Community activities.
The quality of the model
system will be illustrated in terms of evaluation results and of convergence of
model uncertainties.
