## Introduction

CSIRO and ACCESS-NRI have developed, configured and ran the ESM1.6 spin-up experiments for the upcoming cmip7 contribution.

This thread is intended to document the exact model executables and forcings used for the esm1.6 spin-up experiments ([previous example](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/access-om2-control-experiments/258)). In particular, changes to the executables, bug corrections and updates can also be documented here.

| Brief description: | At restart 678, we increased the remineralisation rate coefficient (detlrem) from 0.4 to 0.5 (by 25%) to maintain more organics in the upper ocean, elevate productivity, but also reduce deoxygenation in the deep. This may not be enough, but just trying it right now. |

Note however that the directory names will start from “000” again, i.e. output000. Note: additional outputs (3D variables on pressure levels on a daily timestep) provided from output127 onwards, |

All versions use a revised parametrization describing Australian PFTs. Improvements to the water balance and CICE5 parameter aicenmin=puny, and compiled with OneAPI . In version C, test-PIspinup-Sept-C is restarted from year 402 coming from the AprilSpinUp (restart 300). The reason for starting earlier in the run is that by year 600 of AprilSpinUp (where Sept-A begins), 500 after the solar constant change, the region in the Southern Ocean has already cooled down considerably and is already spilling water into the excessively cold water of deep ocean in the rest of the model (ocean timescale to reverse this is long). This suggests we restart the model from an even earlier time. However there is a significant step change in ocean dynamics due to a revision to ocean BGC at approximately year 280(experiment counter=382). This suggests we start after this has occurred. As such the decision was made to start from restart300(experiment counter=402), 200 years earlier that Sept-A. |

| Brief description: | This is a continuation of Sept-B spinup with a new executable. The executable contains a bug fix in UM7 for the land carbon fluxes. This was started as a test configuration to investigate the bug. But was kept in the final spinup. |
| Further Notes: | This was technically based on the test-PIspinup-Sept-C config, however the only difference between A,B and C was the defined restart. This GPP-13 test includes yet another restart. As it was initially a test the output data was not backed up and has sin ce been lost. The Oct-B spinup used a restart from this run (@ year 080). |

| Brief description: | This is a continuation of Oct-B spinup with a new executable and some configuration updates. The distinctive “OldNitrogen” in the title refers to the Nitrogen Deposition Field from CMIP6. The ocean biogeochemical model uses slightly reduced (~10%) sinking rates of organic detritus and calcium carbonate to rectify a consistent influx of CO2 into the ocean. The executable contains several technical enhancements. Sea ice variables are turned on that are requested as High/Critical in CMIP7 data request and are available in the ACCESS coupled configuration with CICE5. Turned off native CICE diagnostics. Otherwise there are no major science changes. Configuration updates to the land-surface include updated parameters describing properties of c4 crops and Australian PFTs. Increased bare ground fraction over Australia to increase dust production. Updated PFT lookup table. |

| Years: | 272-1127 (restart854/…/um.res.yaml). Initial restart from year 170 ) from above Ndep2-PI-CNP-concentrations where um.res.yaml = 272. In turn this was started from Year 101 which came from restart099/ of @MartinDix 's test run of v2.0 N deposition forcing. We are effectively treating this 100 years with the updated N forcing as the final element of the spinup. |
