Outcomes and challenges of global high-resolution non-hydrostatic atmospheric simulations using the K computer

Abstract This article reviews the major outcomes of a 5-year (2011–2016) project using the K computer to perform global numerical atmospheric simulations based on the non-hydrostatic icosahedral atmospheric model (NICAM). The K computer was made available to the public in September 2012 and was used...
