Dear Ventusky Team,
I've noticed that while both ICON-CH and ICON-DE models on your platform seem to have a similar high resolution (around 2km), ICON-CH provides forecasts for a longer period, up to 4-5 days, compared to ICON-DE.
Could you please explain why there's this difference in forecast range for models with comparable resolution? I'm curious to understand the underlying reasons for this.
Thank you for your time and clarification.

ICON-DE is run by the German Meteorological Service, and ICON-CH is run by the Swiss Meteorological Service. Although the core of the model is the same, the configuration differs.
