2 versions of ACCESS coupled model completed • ACCESS1.0 ‒ Our basic version ‒ Standard atmospheric physics options
‒ MOSES land surface model (MetOffice) • ACCESS1.3 ‒ Our 'aspirational' version
‒ New atmospheric physics options including CAWCR modifications ‒ CABLE Australian community land surface model
ACCESS1.3
ACCESS1.0
• Additional output from 6 simulations uploaded to the Earth System Grid

Present state • UM has own file format o Tools are available to convert to/from netCDF, modify land mask and other boundary conditions • Coupled model does not run from the atmospheric model UI o Coupled model scripts are not easily portable o Mixture of configuration and control • Archiving and Post-processing not well integrated with model • System is not in a state where you can simply pick it up and run it o Though Melbourne University are currently running it
Present state Coupled model does not run from the atmospheric model UI o Difficult for new users o Coupled model scripts are not easily portable Mixture of configuration and control o No automatic archiving of experiment configurations • Archiving and Post-processing not well integrated with model o CMIP5 post-processing still an expert task • System is not in a state where you can simply pick it up and run it •
