We encourage applications from across the ACCESS Community. We are seeking a diverse committee that includes representatives from each of the ACCESS Community Working Groups, as well as members from different career stages and areas of research, technical or infrastructure expertise.

  3. Community Seamless Evaluation Toolkit (CSET) (35+5mins) Jorge Bornemann, Vinod Kumar
    CSET is a community-developed open source toolkit for evaluation, verification, and investigation of weather and climate models. It supports the evaluation of physical numerical models, machine learning models, and observations seamlessly across time and space scales. Jorge and Vinod will give an overview of CSET followed by a demo of how to use it.

  4. ACCESS-AM3 community evaluation Heidi Nettelbeck (5mins)
    A community CM3 evaluation and development process has recently started under the ESM working group. Within this access-cm3-paper-1 repo are useful scripts, e.g., SAM_jet_metrics script to investigate winds for higher-res simulations, including location and intensity of max U850. Who’s keen to be involved?
