/* ===== About ===== */

NICAM is a Nonhydrostatic ICosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM), used as a Global Cloud Resolving Model (GCRM).

NICAM was first developed by H.Tomita (JAMSTEC; now at R-CCS, RIKEN) and M.Satoh (AORI, The Univ. of Tokyo) and is being maintained by [[Public:Developers|NICAM developers]] in [[https://www.aori.u-tokyo.ac.jp/|AORI]], [[http://www.jamstec.go.jp/j/|JAMSTEC]], [[https://www.nies.go.jp/|NIES]], and [[https://www.r-ccs.riken.jp/|R-CCS]]. 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.)]].
