Experiment title 
: ACCESS-CM2 Southern Ocean freshwater perturbation (SOFIA’s antwater/antwater-lh)
Summary : This experiment aims to investigate the role of Antarctic ice sheet melt on the coupled climate system. Ice melt is not considered in standard model simulations resulting in uncertainties of future projections. The SOFIA protocol suggests a range of model perturbation experiments to understand the impact of Antarctic melt on the climate in different models.
The base experiments adds meltwater along the Antarctic coastline ignoring the latent heat needed to melt ice (antwater, tier 1). The proposed project aims to understand the impact of ignoring the latent heat component when adding additional freshwater (antwater-lh, tier 3).
The complete experimental setup includes 3 ensemble runs of ACCESS-CM2 for:
- control
- antwater
- antwater-lh
This proposal requests compute time to run 1 ensemble of the antwater-lh simulation using ACCESS-CM2.
