This topic will be used for announcements to the COSIMA Ocean/Sea-Ice Working Group by the leadership team.

For example, we will announce meetings, workshops and events through this topic. There will **not** be an email list.

**You need to [watch this topic](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/forum-user-guide/95#topic-notifications-20) to receive new announcements via email notifications**

To avoid individuals accidentally spamming the whole group, this topic is closed and only the leadership team will be able to post replies. If you have questions, check if it has already been asked in the [COSIMA Category](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/c/cosima/29), and if not either [open a topic on the forum](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/docs?topic=276) or reply to the [Working Group description topic](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/cosima-ocean-sea-ice-modelling-working-group/572).

Hello COSIMA 👋 !

**NCMAS 2026 Call for Applications** will open next month and a closing date of 31 October 2025 has [now been announced](https://my.nci.org.au/mancini/ncmas/2026/).

We’re interested in knowing what models people in the community would like to include in their applications. This allows us (ACCESS-NRI Ocean and Software transformation teams) to plan and complete the appropriate benchmarking.

If this is relevant to you, [please complete forum poll](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/models-needing-performance-benchmarks-for-the-upcoming-2026-ncmas-applications/5244) **by 29/09**.

Feel free to send an email to `chris.bull@anu.edu.au` if you’d like to discuss.

Note: this poll can be disregarded if you are interested in OM2 configurations, as performance data already exists.

Hi COSIMA,

This is for people waiting on performance data for NCMAS bids.

Resource usage estimates for the COSIMA community have been profiled by ACCESS-NRI, scaling data is already available [here](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/access-nri-model-scaling-repository-a-collection-of-parallel-scalability-studies/5426). Given the Friday deadline, we will be releasing usage resource numbers as they become available.

Currently, we have the global OM3 25km but the 4km pan-Antarctic configuration usage estimates will be available shortly.

Subscribe to that thread for [updates](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/access-nri-model-scaling-repository-a-collection-of-parallel-scalability-studies/5426).

Thanks to the NRI team (@minghangli @cbull @micael ) all their work putting this together! ❤

Hello COSIMA 👋

There’s no COSIMA meeting this week 1130 ❌  
😥

Other business:

**Very first CM3 Dev-Eval meeting**  
When: Tuesday 11th November at 10:30 am.

How: [zoom link](https://anu.zoom.us/j/86257758134?pwd=aXRqNzIvaU9FRHdnYnlseHhhS2JRUT09#success)

How to get updates? [Follow this thread](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/esm-working-group-announce/567/68).

All is invited to the first CM3 dev-eval meeting ([background](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/planning-meeting-cm3-evaluation-through-esm-working-group/5305/4)), we welcome contributions from everyone, we have a [shiny GitHub repo](https://github.com/acCESS-Community-Hub/access-cm3-paper-1/). If you’ve got anything that’s relevant, please feel free to [share a Figure or agenda item in this “wiki” post](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/cm3-dev-eval-working-group-meeting-minutes-2025/5393) on the forum. We’ve already got contributions from @ctychung, @ezhilsabareesh8, @ongqingyee, @kieranricardo, @Harun_Rashid!

CM3 uses the same 25km OM3 ocean configuration and so it’s development is very relevant to COSIMA oceanographers (e.g. check out [how BIG our drake passage transport](https://github.com/ACCESS-Community-Hub/access-cm3-paper-1/issues/42#issuecomment-3459426400) is!)

**ACCESS-NRI Seminar**  
_“Wide-swath satellite altimetry data improves modelled mesoscale and submesoscale dynamics in a western boundary current”_  
Colette Kerry (1), Shane Keating (1), Moninya Roughan (2), M. Azaneu (2), G. Brassington (3)  
Presenting author’s e-mail: [c.kerry@unsw.edu.au](mailto:c.kerry@unsw.edu.au)

2 _School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, UNSW, Sydney, Australia_  
3 _Bureau of Meteorology, Sydney, Australia._  
The ocean circulation varies across a range of temporal and spatial scales, and modelling and observing the relevant scales is key to effective ocean prediction and understanding the ocean’s role in global climate. By combining ocean models and observations through data assimilation, we can better understand and predict oceanic processes. Conventional satellite altimeter measurements of sea surface height have constrained mesoscale-eddy permitting models. However, accurate model estimates of submesoscale (\<50km) flows remain a challenge due to rapidly evolving flow and lack of observations at suitable scales. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides the first-ever synchronous 2D maps of SSH at ~2km resolution, albeit at low temporal resolution (21-day repeat cycle). Here we use advanced data-assimilation in a submesoscale-permitting model of the East Australian Current and reveal the positive impact of SWOT observations on both mesoscale and submesoscale circulation estimates. We demonstrate a key distinction between the impact of assimilating fine-scale SWOT observations on model representation and prediction of ocean processes across scales. Assimilating SWOT data improves representation and prediction of the larger-scale mesoscale motions, and improves representation (but not prediction) of the fine-scale dynamics. Increased relative vorticity variance with SWOT assimilation is widespread in space and time (away from SWOT observations) and projected to depth. By improving how we represent and forecast ocean processes, we lay the foundation for better climate projections and more accurate ocean forecasts.

Thursday 6th November 10 am

**Physical location:** ACCESS-NRI, boardroom 5 Liversidge St, Acton ACT

Hi COSIMA,

**We’re looking for a new Co-Chair to join the COSIMA leadership team!** The Co-Chairs help build community, provide scientific leadership for shared model configurations and COSIMA Recipes, and act as a link to ACCESS-NRI.

COSIMA currently has four Co-Chairs (Ed Doddridge, Andrew Kiss, Paul Spence and Adele Morrison - one of us will step down to make room for someone new). Each Co-Chair shapes their role around what they enjoy and their expertise. Some of the tasks the leadership team do include organising / chairing weekly Thursday COSIMA meetings, running annual hackathons and workshops, leading model development and evaluation projects, guiding maintenance and direction of the Recipes, supporting inclusion and diversity, managing compute and storage resources, and engaging with the ACCESS-NRI Scientific Advisory Committee.

Of course, COSIMA’s strength comes from the whole community. Many people outside the official leadership team also make incredible contributions and take initiative to support and improve COSIMA, e.g. through contributions to the Recipes, model development and diversity initiatives. This is amazing and we would love everyone to continue contributing to the community!

If you are interested in becoming a Co-Chair, please get in touch with Adele and/or Paul by 28th November. Additional information on how you’d like to contribute to the role is welcomed.

Cheers,  
Adele
