====== What is NICAM? ======

NICAM is a Nonhydrostatic ICosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM), used as a Global Cloud Resolving Model (GCRM).
A subkilometer-mesh global simulation is already performed using the K computer by [[http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/grl.50944|Miyamoto et al. (2013)]]. NICAM is first developed by H.Tomita (JAMSTEC; now at AICS, RIKEN) and M.Satoh (AORI, The Univ. of Tokyo), and is now under development in cooperation with AORI, JAMSTEC, and AICS by the NICAM developers listed at [[http://nicam.jp/hiki/?NICAM+developer+members|here]]. Introduction papers of NICAM are [[http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s40645-014-0018-1|Satoh et al. (2014, PEPS)]], [[http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jcp.2007.02.006|Satoh et al.(2008, J.Comp. Physics)]], and [[http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fluiddyn.2004.03.003|Tomita and Satoh (2004, Fluid Dyn. Res.)]].
