Integrated Research Program for Advancing Climate Models (TOUGOU Program) CMIP6 simulation data by non-hydrostatic general circulation model NICAM16-9S: HighResMIP

"Integrated Research Program for Advancing Climate Models" ("TOUGOU Program") is a five-year project being implemented by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology ("MEXT") from FY2017 to FY2021 with the primary objective of elucidating the mechanisms of climate change and generating information on climate change projections through the development of climate models that will form the basis for all climate change countermeasures.
The TOUGOU Program consists of four research themes. The objectives of the theme A is to actively participate in the coupled model intercomparison project phase 6 (CMIP6) by using the global climate models developed in the previous programs, and to carry out many original climate model simulations to generate the forecast information necessary for the formulation of near-future adaptation and mitigation measures. Theme B aims to, such as, more precisely estimate CO2 emissions by using the Earth System Model (ESM), a climate model that incorporates biological and chemical processes into the global climate model.
This dataset contains the results of the HighResMIP by NICAM16-9S, among the various simulations for CMIP6 that have been carried out in this TOUGOU Program using the global climate models and the Earth system models developed in Japan.

This study was supported by the Environment Research and Technology Development Fund (JPMEERF20172R01) of the Environmental Restoration and Conservation Agency of Japan (ERCA) and the Integrated Research Program for Advancing Climate Models (TOUGOU) (JPMXD0717935457), the FLAGSHIP2020 project within the priority study4, and Program for Promoting Researches on the Supercomputer Fugaku (Large Ensemble Atmospheric and Environmental Prediction for Disaster Prevention and Mitigation), of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan.

All CMIP6 data are collected, managed and published by the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF), and DIAS serves as one node of the ESGF. All public datasets, including this dataset, are available from ESGF. Please refer to the CMIP6 Guidance for Data Users (link below) for information on the use of these datasets, including this dataset.

《提升气候模型集成研究计划》（简称“TOUGOU 计划”）是一项由文部科学省（MEXT）自平成29年度至令和3年度（即2017年至2021年）实施的为期五年的项目。该计划的主要目标是阐明气候变化机制，并通过开发将构成所有气候变化应对措施基础的气候模型，生成有关气候变化预测的信息。TOUGOU 计划包括四个研究主题。主题A的目的是通过使用前一个项目中开发的全球气候模型，积极参与耦合模型互比项目第6阶段（CMIP6），并执行众多原创的气候模型模拟，以生成制定近期适应和缓解措施所需的预测信息。主题B旨在，例如，利用地球系统模型（ESM）（一种将生物和化学过程纳入全球气候模型的气候模型）更精确地估算二氧化碳排放。本数据集包含了由NICAM16-9S进行的高分辨率模拟（HighResMIP）的结果，这些模拟是在本 TOUGOU 计划中，使用日本开发的全球气候模型和地球系统模型进行的 CMIP6 多种模拟之一。本研究得到了日本环境恢复与保护局（ERCA）的环境研究与技术发展基金（JPMEERF20172R01）、提升气候模型集成研究计划（TOUGOU）（JPMXD0717935457）、FLAGSHIP2020项目下的优先研究4（Large Ensemble Atmospheric and Environmental Prediction for Disaster Prevention and Mitigation）以及文部科学省（MEXT）的超级计算机Fugaku推进研究计划的支持。所有 CMIP6 数据均由地球系统网格联盟（ESGF）收集、管理和发布，DIAS 作为 ESGF 的一个节点。包括本数据集在内的所有公开数据集均可在 ESGF 上获取。请参考 CMIP6 数据用户指南（以下链接）以获取有关这些数据集（包括本数据集）的使用信息。
