"In the Ventusky application, you will find data from the American model, GFS, the Canadian GEM, and the German ICON. When interpreting the data from the models, it is important to keep in mind that the numerical model predicts the atmosphere in simplified form.

Model ICON
This is a global model developed by the German National Meteorological Service institution (DWD). The resolution of the model is roughly 7 km. It is the most detailed numerical model that is calculated for the entire world. Calculations are made in one-hour increments for 3 days.

Model GFS
This is a global model developed by the American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The resolution of the model is roughly 13 km. Calculations are done in three-hour increments for 10 days.

Model GEM
This is the global model developed by the Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC). The resolution of the model is roughly 13 km. Calculations are done in three-hour increments for 10 days."
