Targets of Global Cloud-Resolving Model
• Multi-scale convection– Tropical cyclones– Madden Julian Oscillation– Cloud clusters
• Effects of cumulus clouds on climate– condensational heating– precipitation– vertical transport– radiation
Development of Global Model “NICAM”
“Nonhydrostatic” + “ICosahedral” Atmospheric Model

Schemes of Physics in NICAM
• Turbulance: Mellor & Yamada level-2• Radiation: MSTRNX (Sekiguchi & Nakajima, 2006)
• Cloud microphysics: Grabowski (1998)• Cumulus convection
– Arakawa & Shubert for dx > 30 km– Not used for dx = 3.5 km, 7 km, 14 km
History of NICAM
• First simulation (e.g. Tomita & Satoh, 2004)
• Aqua planet experiment (e.g. Tomita et al., 2005)
– dx = 3.5 km, 10-day integration – eastward propagating multi-scale clusters
• Real topography (e.g. Miura et al.; submitted to GRL)
– dx = 3.5 km, 7 km, 14 km– simulation of a typhoon in Apr. 2004
• Simulations with dx=3.5km, 7km, 14km are performed on Earth Simulator computer, and the results are currently analyzed by scientists in Japan & USA
Experimental Design of Typhoon Simulation
• Model: NICAM• Topography: GTOPO30 (smoothed)• Initial condition:
– NCEP tropospheric analyses (1.0deg x 1.0deg) – 00:00UTC on 1st April 2004– no bogusing modifications
• Time integration– 7 days for dx = 3.5 km (Glevel-11)– 10 days for dx = 7 km (Glevel-10)– 30 days for dx = 14 km (Glevel-9)

Future Plans
• Technical issue– improvement of turbulence scheme– Kain-Fritsch scheme for dx > 7 km
• Case study of TC: dx = 3.5 km, ~10 day– validation with observational data
• Formation of TC: dx = 7 km, 14 km, ~30 day– little influence of initial condition
• Climatology of TC: dx = 30 km , 60km; 1 year ~– distribution of genesis and development
