COSMO
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
COSMO (Consortium for Small-scale Modeling) is a limited-area numerical weather prediction model jointly developed by several European national meteorological services. Core features: - High resolution: up to 1-3 km - Non-hydrostatic: suitable for simulating mesoscale and small-scale weather systems - Complete physical process parameterization: including radiation, cloud microphysics, convection, etc. Scaffolding role: fine forecasting, regional focus. The COSMO model, through high-resolution computation, can capture complex terrain and local effects, providing fine-grained support for short-term weather forecasting, severe convection warnings, etc.
