The NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory is advancing the Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Model (NIM) aimed at enhancing weather and climate predictions with finer resolution (targeting ≤ 1 km). This innovative model incorporates finite-volume integrations on a local coordinate system and employs the latest GPU technology for rapid calculations. Key features include conservative and monotonic schemes, hybrid vertical coordinates, and improved initial condition methodologies. NIM strives to achieve a new standard in global atmospheric modeling by providing accurate, high-resolution forecasts that surpass existing models.

FIM (flow-following finite- volume Icosahedral model): Target resolution ≥ 10 km A hydrostatic model consists of 2-D finite-volume SWM coupled with hybrid σ-θ vertical solver. A hydrostatic model for NCEP global model ensemble. NIM (Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral model): Target resolution : O(1 km) and beyond Extension of 2-D finite-volume integration into 3-D integration on control volume defined on the height coordinate. Use the latest GPU technology to speed up high-resolution model calculations. ESRL finite-volume Icos- models (FIM/NIM) ESMF Global Modeling Program Review
