ACCESS NRI - community input for major science priorities over next 10 years

Atmosphere Working Group

Hello Atmosphere Working Group,

The ACCESS-NRI Scientific Advisory Council will be meeting in September to begin drafting a roadmap for the next 10 years.

If you would like to contribute your ideas for what this should look like please reply to this or email Sonya/Yi directly. sonya.fiddes@utas.edu.au, yi.huang4@unimelb.edu.au

Things to think about:

  • Science capabilities
  • Technical capabilities
  • User capabilities
  • Community capabilities
  • Infrastructure/software landscape
  • Govt. priorities

Looking forward to seeing what you think!

Sonya & Yi

  • transition of ACCESS-family models from UM to LFric.
    When the change to LFric-based models is made by the Met Office, there will be no new UM-based scientific development, and UM support will be phased out.
  • the growing need for data storage and management.
  • the coming-together of traditionally separated scientific communities as global modelling approaches the km-scale domain of regional modelling.

some possibilities to consider, non-exhaustive!

  • becoming closer to UK model releases in terms of codebase. it is still very difficult to collaborate directly with universities, UKMO etc when codebases are so far apart
  • genuine ESM, i.e. inclusion of atmospheric composition, marine biogeochemistry, terrestrial biogenic emissions etc
  • adoption of atmospheric composition capability in LFRic
