Date: 20/07/2023 Participants: 18 Chair: @ShayneM ## Admin Volunteers for science talks welcome. If have talk relevant to group please let us know. @dkhutch has volunteered for 31st August. Interested in very relevant/important watching a pre-recorded video for a speaker? Be good if it was something that would spark discussion in the group. Need someone to sponsor a talk. @eunpalim saw a talk about high resolution impact on ENSO and southern ocean processes. Definitely not a regular event. Mostly about filling gaps. Meeting structure discussion: Working Group seems to divide along between different model development aims: 1. improving processes and their representation in models 2. improving performance. Is it worthwhile to alternate focus of meetings between these two aims to ensure community adequately catered for? @Dietmar_Dommenget not sure if there is a 50/50 split in the community. Everyone wants to improve models, once have a fast model not such a focus. Can improve model by increasing resolution, or by improving parameterisation. Don’t have to always be interested in specific equations. @RachelLaw Perhaps split is around the models. A lot to be gained by sharing tools and workflows around models. ## Shared experiments/ACCESS-NRI resources Any proposals for experiments to utilise ACCESS-NRI compute resources? See the [topic](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/esm-working-group-resource-allocation-guidelines/799) for more info. @Dietmar_Dommenget if can get a modified land-sea mask can use resources. Make for @dkhutch. Relies on getting a breakthrough with configuring the model. Would be good to have a board displaying all the experiments, and how they are done. @dkhutch has made a [wiki with instructions for making modifications to the ocean model in GFDL CM2.1](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/adapting-gfdl-cm2-1-coupled-model-for-deep-time-paleoclimate-experiments/826). ## ACCESS-NRI Workshop Draft program now on ACCESS-NRI website > **[ACCESS Community Workshop 2023 Program - ACCESS-NRI](https://www.access-nri.org.au/access-workshop-2023-program/)** > > Important Forum Links 2023 Workshop Category (and an Everything you need to know post) 2023 Forum Chat Virtual Poster Gallery         Return... Breakout discussion should be relevant to more than one area (Working Group). There is an [online spreadsheet where can suggest speakers](https://docs.google.com/document/d/190qqML_YsgnL2eDUzE3rxE4Rde8HGx1OmfoJP9W1BnU/edit). There is a slot for a speaker from the ESM Working Group. Talked to @gpontes, @Dietmar_Dommenget and some others, that would be good to have an hour in the Working Group day toward model configuration modifications, land-sea mask, boundary conditions. There is some space late additions to working group day if results are available. Pencil in talk for faster ACCESS Coupled model by @Dietmar_Dommenget. Get paleo group interest. @dkhutch would also like to present something model development/configuration related with some UNSW colleagues. Need to feedback to @wghuneke as she is organising the working group day. @paulleopardi Bureau still pursuing coupled models, maybe get their experience with using Nemo, could be interesting interchange of ideas. ## Science talk @ars599: “The representation of ENSO in ACCESS CM2 and HadGEM3” Work from his PhD research.
