-MOSAIK is a [[http://www.bmbf.de|BMBF]] funded German-wide research project within the call "Stadtklima im Wandel" (urban climate under change, [[http://uc2-program.org|[UC]²]]) that aims at developing a new modern and highly-efficient PALM-4U. The MOSAIK consortium consists of partners from entire Germany that have joined their forces to create a PALM-4U of unprecedented spatial resolution and computational performance and which shall allows simulations of large cities of size of up to 2.000 km² with grid-resolved buildings.
