First meeting in November overlaps with ACEAS.

New sub-categories on the forum. To get notifications of topics in the sub-categories at this stage you must watch each sub-category separately.

Put ideas for working group meeting, including suggested speakers, should go in this topic:

## Shared Experiments

@LaurieM: Want people to use it. Needs to be fair. There are instructions on how to put forward an experiment to use WG resources:

> [@Applying for ESM Working Group Resources](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/esm-working-group-resource-allocation-guidelines/799):
>
> Introduction ACCESS-NRI allocates compute and storage resources to the Working Groups to use to support their activities. Currently those resources consist of computational resources (KSUs) and storage (/g/data allocations) on [NCI HPC systems](https://nci.org.au/our-systems/hpc-systems). These are allocated through the [lg87 project](https://my.nci.org.au/mancini/project/lg87), so you must join it to be able to access them. The process for allocating resources amongst working groups is given by the ACCESS-NRI Merit Allocation Guidelines: Proposal for distributing resources The ES…

@LaurieM: Ideally if this is done early enough can discuss and decide between proposals. If done late, becomes first-come first-service. Currently lagging putting projects together.

Three experiments used WG resources, two of them were described here

> This category is where you can start a topic to describe an experiment you wish to share with the wider community. In most cases this would be an experiment you have run yourself, or done in collaboration with others.

> Experiment title: ACCESS-CM2 SSP scenario ensemble run from R6 to R10 Summary: To extend the ensemble member of ACCESS-CM2 scenario experiments for CMIP6, we extend the previous 5 ensemble members to 10. The ensemble members from the r6 to the r10 were being run here recently. Totally 12 experiments were running on lg87: 4 for SSP126, 4 for SSP245, 4 for SSP370 and 4 for SSP585. Scientific motivation: This ensemble member runs are multiple simulations of ACCESS-CM2 model that differ in in…

> Experiment title: Investigating the Impact of Perturbing Low Cloud-SST Feedback on ENSO Occurrence Summary: Xie’s group identified the strong feedback between low cloud cover and sea surface temperature (SST) in the northeast Pacific (NEP), which amplifies SST variations and influences El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. The research aims to investigate this relationship by implementing the Random Parameter version 2 scheme (RP2) in the UM atmosphere model to assess the impact of pe…

@ars599: Would be good to have other people than just ACCESS-CM2 using this time.

# What’s going on?

@dkhutch have a Miocene test case running. Significant step forward.

> I am attempting to change the land-sea mask in ACCESS-ESM1.5. I have started from the standard [pre-industrial configuration](https://github.com/coecms/esm-pre-industrial.git) and am attempting to close Drake Passage. What I have done so far: I edited the ocean depth input in grid\_spec.nc, so that the Drake Passage is closed. I then ran the model from a cold start, i.e. zero velocity, without changing anything in the atmosphere, and it completed 1 year successfully. I interpolated my new land-sea mask onto the N96 atmosphere grid, and created …
