7. DATASET OVERVIEW
7.1 Abstract"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 climatemodels 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 andmitigation 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 andthe 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 theuse of these datasets, including this dataset.
