This page summarizes the information on the APE project and the aqua-planet AGCM experiments conducted in parallel by the members of GFD Dennou Club.
Numerical experiments with AGCM5 were performed by using the supercomputer system (NEC SX series) at Center for Global Environmental Research (CGER) of National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) .
Numerical experiments with AGU for APE were performed at the Earth Simulator of the Earth Simulator Center (ESC) of Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC).
The work conducted in Japan was supported by following MEXT KAKENHI Grants and JSPS funding.
