This will be very helpful for my current perturbation test project (even though it exceeds the resources I have). I also believe this will benefit the community, as we have not yet gotten any 01deg-BGC run under the RYF. Additionally, using RYF should allow the model to reach a steady state more effectively compared to using IAF, which may be good reason for implementing the WOMBAT iron updates. ---

I think this could be a useful run to do - there are resources about in the COSIMA community, as well as at ACCESS-NRI … so why not? ---

i’ve been hoping to get the 01 RYF with BGC run going for a while. We also need to redo the 025 run that I did last year, but screwed up the O2 initial conditions (warning … don’t make this mistake again). ---

I reckon if we’re going to invest substantial resources in this - i.e. maybe we want a 100+ year spinup to get the BGC somewhat equilibrated, we should discuss whether it’s a good idea to wait for the iron updates. The current simulation as I understand it is not really any good for looking at BGC at the Antarctic margins, because the iron is so wrong. ---

Hey all, Just to update you on progress, I’ve managed to get comfortable working with WOMBAT and running 1deg simulations with MOM5. I’ve also managed to add a new tracer to the model as a smell test. Working well. Next job is to add a prognostic chlorophyll tracer, which will be useful for development of the iron cycle, since 80% of phytoplankton Fe use is in the photosynthetic apparatus. Pearse ---

For anyone interested, I have extended the last cycle of the 025deg\_jra55\_iaf\_omip2 run through to the end of 2023 using JRA55 v1.5.0.1 forcing. You can find this at `/g/data/ik11/outputs/access-om2-025/025deg_jra55_iaf_omip2_cycle6_jra55v150_extension`. Details added to the table.
