ICON 2I (ItaliaMeteo ARPAE ICON-2i) Weather model

Please consider adding ICON 2I (ItaliaMeteo ARPAE ICON-2i) weather model.

For users in Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Hungary and the wider Adriatic/Mediterranean region, ICON-2I would be particularly interesting because its ~2 km domain covers this area very well. For Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland and parts of Croatia in particular, it would provide a very useful second high-resolution ICON-family model alongside ICON-D2.

Info available on ItaliaMeteo, MeteoHub and OpenMeteo websites.

Short description and coverage map below.

Forecast of temperature, wind speed and direction, precipitation, snow and cloud cover in Italy, **up to 72 hours. **The maps, available on the MeteoHub platform, are automatically generated using the high-resolution numerical weather prediction model ICON-2I.

The ICON-2I modeling system is managed by the ItaliaMeteo Agency in collaboration with Arpae Emilia-Romagna, running on CINECA‘s computing systems.

ICON-2I data is produced twice daily (00 and 12 UTC), providing forecasts up to 72 hours on a grid covering Italy and a substantial part of Central/Southern Europe with a resolution of 2.2 km.
