Brief update from WG co-chairs and ACCESS-NRI:Yi Huang, Charmaine Franklin, Matt Woodhouse, Heidi Nettelbeck (5mins)
Data updateKelsey Druken (5 mins)
Kelsey from ACCESS-NRI will provide a brief update on support for data sharing and/or publication options available as well as propose some storage management best practice advice for the WG gdata project area.
CMIP7 model plans and timelines (10+5mins) Rachel Law
ACCESS-AM3
Update on AM3 development and how to evaluate it:Martin Dix (10+2mins)
Martin will give a brief update on ACCESS-AM3 development and progress towards a release. 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.
Would this framework be useful for AM3 evaluation?
Call for AM3 alpha testers:Lachlan Whyborn (2mins)
How to get involved with the alpha testing of the AM3 configuration.
AM3 aerosols and the Southern Ocean:Matt Woodhouse and Sonya Fiddes (5mins)
Matt and Sonya will be applying learning from AM2 aerosol experiments to AM3
ESA CCI SST and sea-ice datasetHeidi Nettelbeck (5mins)
Global SST-forced experiments with ACCESS-AM3 (N512), W21C would need to follow the HighResMIP2 conventions and use the ESA CCI SST & sea-ice dataset. This dataset is the same resolution as the OSTIA one at 0.05 degrees, but provides a consistent stable record over the satellite era.
Compute/storage resources:Heidi Nettelbeck (5mins)
Any experiment proposals for Q4/2025 (875 kSU allocation)?
→ See here for how to apply for Atmosphere WG Resources.

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.
ACCESS-AM3 community evaluationHeidi 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?

Hello,
ACCESS-NRI is going to have significantly more compute resources on Gadi for the first half of 2026. As a consequence, all working group projects will receive an allocation of 1.5 MSU per quarter for that period. We will still look at re-allocations during the quarter to optimise usage.
If you have any experiment idea, now is the time to submit your proposals. The proposals will be reviewed by the co-chairs as soon as practical. However, the allocation is large enough that proposals within the guidelines should be accepted without difficulties.
