Please use this topic to let everyone know

  • what science questions you are using ACCESS-ESM1.5 to answer
  • any papers that you have submitted/published using ACCESS-ESM1.5 as the primary model (rather than as part of a multi-model ensemble).

This will allow those with common interests to connect and allows model developers to demonstrate impact pathways for their work.

Understanding processes and feedbacks during past climates (Last Interglacial period, LIG, ~127,000 years ago, part of PMIP4).

  1. Southern hemispheric monsoon systems at the LIG (Yeung, NKH, L. Menviel, K.J. Meissner, A.S. Taschetto, T. Ziehn, M. Chamberlain, “Land-sea temperature contrasts at the Last Interglacial and their impact on the hydrological cycle”, Climate of the Past, 2021, 17, 869-885.)

  2. Processes leading to a Southern Ocean sub-surface warming at the LIG (Yeung, N., L. Menviel, K.J Meissner, D. Choudhury, T. Ziehn, M.A Chamberlain, “Last Interglacial subsurface warming on the Antarctic shelf triggered by reduced deep-ocean convection”, Communications Earth & Environment, 5, 212, 2024.)

  3. Assessing the impact of vegetation change on LIG climate (Yeung N, PhD thesis 2024).

  4. Impacts of warmer conditions in the Southern Ocean on the oceanic carbon content (Choudhury, D., L. Menviel, KJ Meissner, NKH Yeung, M. Chamberlain, T Ziehn, “Marine carbon cycle response to a warmer Southern Ocean: the case of the Last Interglacial”, Clim. Past, 2022, 18, 507-523.)

Understanding the oceanic and atmospheric response to a weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC).

  1. Impact of a weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation on Australasian hydroclimate (Saini H., Pontes G., Brown J.R., Drysdale R, Du Y., Menviel L., “Australasian hydroclimate response to a collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation under pre-industrial and Last Interglacial climates”, submitted)

  2. Assessing the Atlantic Ocean’s response to an AMOC weakening (Pontes G., Menviel, L., submitted).
