Having the ability to load ICON EU and ICON Global data would enable use of open data for our models with global coverage, and fairly good forecasting.
Context
Being able to run with open data allows more people to use our code easier, and it should be a better forecast than GFS. Doing this also makes our code less tied to UKV, and so easier to add support for other NWP models and inputs, like ECMWF
Possible Implementation
Some work,, for ICON EU support, has been done in #216 and work for ICON Global is being done in #221
