Forcing data sets for the the CMIP7 DECK are becoming available and it would be useful to start testing them with ACCESS-ESM1.5. We would require help to convert the format published for input4MIPs to the required format in ESM1.5.
Status and links to the forcing data sets can be found here:

Broadly speaking, what transformation is required? Conversion to grib?
Hi Aidan,
the format depends on the data. The GHG concentrations for example are provided in text format, but other data such as aerosols and ozone fields need to be converted to the UM ancil format. This also requires re-gridding. Martin (@MartinDix ) has done most of this for CMIP6 for both model versions. But we also benefited a lot from work that has been done by the UKMO and we didn’t have to start from the input4MIPs data set in many cases.
Cheers,
Tilo
And also unit checking!
Yes, and probably a few other things as well.
