Dear Community,

I would like to compute some diagnostics using the ocean model output that requires grid distances such as ds\ __\___ T, ds __\___ C, ds __\___ N, ds __\__ \_E and the angles of rotation. I contacted the ACCESS group, and they advised me to come here for assitance. Does anyone have the ocean grid information for the ACCESS-CM2 climate model? Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards,

Estanislao

Hi Estanislao,

Ocean grid information for CMIP models should be under the table ‘Ofx’, e.g. [https://esgf.nci.org.au/search/cmip6-nci/?source\_id=ACCESS-CM2&table\_id=Ofx](https://esgf.nci.org.au/search/cmip6-nci/?source_id=ACCESS-CM2&table_id=Ofx)

At NCI this can be found under e.g. /g/data/fs38/publications/CMIP6/CMIP/CSIRO/ACCESS-ESM1-5/historical/r1i1p1f1/Ofx/

Hi Scott,  
those variables are not available in the Ofx files.
