ACCESS-OM3 model evaluation team Announce

Related to this post.

The plan is to meet regularly with ACCESS-NRI folks over the next 6 months or so to contribute to evaluation and tuning choices during the [ACCESS-OM3-25km] development. The team will also contribute to writing analysis code and the model documentation publication.

We’ll be announcing meetings/minutes/agenda items from here.

We talked about this at TWG yesterday, and mooted the following ideas for the agenda for next Wednesday (28th May) :

  • strategy (25km paper vs combined 100km, 25km and 8km paper, consider BGC, waves)
  • examples of other model description/evaluation papers
  • who and how to engage folks in evaluation
  • initial checks for model completeness (water + energy balance)

Hi Folks,
I am stoked to have been tasked with chairing and setting the agenda for this Weds discussion. After preliminary discussions with a few kind folks, we are broadening the agenda beyond just evaluating ACCESS-OM3-25km to:

Discussing the NRI Global OM3 Work Plan for 25/26
The meeting goal is to: Clarify which models are to be worked, to what extent and by whom

Agenda (1 hr) (Chaired by Paul Spence, Notes by ?):

  1. Understand NRI perspective (discussion led by Andy/Chris) (5 mins + 5 mins question)
  2. Understand COSIMA perspective (discussion led by Adele/Julia) (5 mins + 5 mins questions)
  3. Discuss options for model dev pathway (discussion led by Andrew/Andy) (5 mins + 5 questions)
  4. How will process of model evaluation work (e.g role of NRI/Cosima)? (discussion led Andrew/Ed) (5 mins + 5 mins questions)
  5. Hypothetical paper ideas (discussion led by Adele/Wilma) (5 mins + 5 questions)
  6. Closing summary/action items (discussion led by Paul/Andy) (5 mins)

The chair aims to keep us on schedule.

To help keep us on time, if any of the listed discussion leads have a slide to share, please send it to me asap so that I can organize them in one deck to avoid sharing screen lapses.
Thanks!

Thanks Paul – looks good to me.

For RSES folks - do you want to come over to ACCESS-NRI for the meeting? Alternative is that we could come to Hales, but I’m suggesting ACCESS-NRI because I’m marginal to make it on time, so it would be easier for me …

Following up on @AndyHoggANU’s message. We’ll keep an eye out for folks coming from RSES, there’s lots of people on site today so getting in the door should be a breeze. We’ll be in the big board room.

Great to see you all today, I’ve shared the minutes that @fabiobdias started here, this is a wiki so please amend or correct.

Thank you all for coming on the 28th May – great to see so much interest in our next steps!

Following from our chat on the 28th May, we (@cbull @edoddridge @PSpence @AndyHoggANU @aekiss) have put together a proposed set of next steps:

  • Continued community discussions on what we include, how we evaluate and publish an OM3 evaluation paper (@aekiss).
  • Develop list of required recipes that will serve for both 25km & 8km evaluation (@aekiss).
  • Work on and provide example of evaluation recipe for OM3 (resolution agnostic) (@cbull, @dougiesquire).
  • Working on converting remaining cosima recipes to intake ( @CharlesTurner, @marc.white).
  • Develop global 8km configuration - make input files that allow a config to be run (@cbull, @anton).
  • Finalise 25km beta-release of OM3 - for CM3, WOMBAT (Ocean Team).
  • Prepare initial 25km simulation and make it accessible via intake for evaluation (@minghangli).
  • Continued 100km work for WOMBAT and WW3 (@dougiesquire).
  • Maintain technical documentation for existing and new configurations (citable, versioned) (Ocean Team).

Feedback on this is very welcome (feel free to discuss on the forum in a new thread*
or email chris.bull@anu.edu.au).

*suggesting not here as this is an announce thread.
