Hello COSIMA :wave:

In the Ocean Team at ACCESS-NRI, we’re in the process of thinking about our priorities and would like to know where our resources best enable the community. With this in mind, we’ve created a user survey. Please complete the survey if you would like to give input.

Please complete by 8th November. Note that all questions are optional and you can be anonymous if you wish. We particularly encourage responses from ECRs and people from less represented communities/demographics. This survey is open to anyone with an interest in ACCESS-NRI ocean modelling configurations – feel free to share it.

If you’d like some more background, from this morning’s COSIMA meeting:
2024.10.31_ACCESS-NRI OceanTeam Overview.pptx (2.2 MB)

We’ll be having a workshop 12-15th November, 2024 to discuss the survey and future directions. Get in touch if you are interested in participating.

Got survey questions? Pop them on the forum here

Cheers,
Chris

Hello COSIMA :wave:

Our next meeting is on tomorrow (Thursday 14 November) at 1130 :white_check_mark:

This week we’ll hear from Matt Harrison (GFDL) who will be presenting on the topic “Improved Surface Mass Balance Closure in Ocean Hindcast Simulations (aka: How to run ocean models without salinity restoring)”.

Matt will explain a new method to eliminate the use of surface salinity restoring in ocean models. It may be adopted as standard in the next OMIP and we would like to explore implementing this alternate method in ACCESS-OM3.

Another thing for the agenda - can everyone please check this list and let me know if it’s missing any published (not submitted or preprint) papers that use ACCESS-OM2 models or data (at any resolution).

ACCESS-NRI COSIMA 2025 training program

Based on user feedback for more training, we’re currently in the process of designing a new user training program. We need your input!

* A* first draft training program is here.

We’re conducting a user poll to see if there are specific sessions of interest. Please answer the following question:

What skills and tools would you like to see covered in an ACCESS-NRI COSIMA training program?

Enter your answer here by 10am tomorrow please.

This program will be much richer with community input! We are especially interested to hear from community members that would be able to help facilitate a session, if this is the case, please put your “name; email address” in your suggestion, e.g., "Running and understanding key diagnostics in WOMBAT-lite (Pearse Buchanan; Pearse.Buchanan@csiro.au). Similarly, help is also appreciated for existing proposed sessions, especially from ECRs, please contact Chris Bull (chris.bull@anu.edu.au) if you’d like to pitch in.

At the next COSIMA meeting (12/12) we’ll poll on the suggested sessions to finalise the program. Please come along on Thursday if you’d like to participate in the program, available sessions will be based on interest.
