The impact of land-surface properties like vegetation soil type soil moisture and the
orography on the atmosphere is manifold. These features determine the evolution of the
atmospheric boundary layer convective conditions cloud evolution and precipitation. The
impact of model grid spacing and land-surface resolution on convective precipitation over
heterogeneous surfaces is investigated using ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic (ICON) simulations
within the framework of the HD(CP)2 project.
