Abstract
In this article we outline the model development planned within the joint project Model-based city planning and application in climate change (MOSAIK). The MOSAIK project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within the framework Urban Climate Under Change ([UC]2) since 2016. The aim of MOSAIK is to develop a highly-efficient, modern, and high-resolution urban climate model that allows to be applied for building-resolving simulations of large cities such as Berlin (Germany). The new urban climate model will be based on the well-established large-eddy simulation code PALM, which already has numerous features related to this goal, such as an option for prescribing Cartesian obstacles. In this article we will outline those components that will be added or modified in the framework of MOSAIK. Moreover, we will discuss the everlasting issue of acquisition of suitable geographical information as input data and the underlying requirements from the model's perspective.

N1 - Funding information: MOSAIK is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under grant 01LP1601 within the framework of Research for Sustainable Development (FONA; www.fona.de), which is greatly acknowledged. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) Project Management supports the consortium. The authors would like to thank all people involved in the MOSAIK project for their contribution to this overview paper. Special thanks go to ANTTI HELLSTEN at FMI, Helsinki, for providing test data for visualization of the LES-LES nesting, BASIT KHAN at KIT, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, for creating the setup of the preliminary chemistry results, and JAROSLAV RESLER at CTU for providing the setup for the simulation of a city quarter in Prague. Benchmark and test runs with PALM have been performed at the supercomputers of HLRN, which is gratefully acknowledged.
