ACCESS-AM3 – Progress towards the 3rd generation of Australia’s Earth system model
Abstract
The next generation of ACCESS Earth system model, ACCESS-ESM3, comprising advances to all components of ACCESS is being developed. This configuration is targeted at a broader and longer-term CMIP7 submission, post FastTrack. A key step in the development of ACCESS-ESM3 is the creation of a land-atmosphere physics-only configuration, ACCESS-AM3, involving the technical coupling between the land and atmospheric components, CABLE and the Unified Model.
We will describe the configuration of ACCESS-AM3, its current status (alpha version), and present some first results from test historical runs. We will also outline how the broader community can engage with the development of the model.
