The Icosahedral Non-hydrostatic ([[https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/iconpublic|ICON]]) model was recently developed at both MPI Hamburg and the German Weather Service (DWD), and can be applied at multiple resolutions. While both codes share many features, in particular their capability to perform realistic high-resolution simulations of boundary layer clouds, there are also a few key differences. Apart from numerical differences these mainly concern the spatial homogeneity of surface properties such as orography, and the capability to perform simulations in a nested setting. At InScAPE we aim to use both codes in conjunction, profiting from the benefits of both approaches. Simulation (DALES) and overview of its applications.// Geoscientific model development, **3** (2), pp. 415-444. )) is an LES code that has been developed decades ago, and has participated in many scientific model intercomparison and evaluation studies.
