Experiment Proposal: New Australian Vegetation for ACCESS-ESM1.6

Experiment title :bell:: New Australian Vegetation for ACCESS-ESM1.6

Summary :bell:: This is to run experiments with ACCESS-ESM1.6 to investigate the impact of the new Australian vegetation land cover and two new Australian Plant Functional Types (PFTs). These will be global experiments using the CMIP7 forcing and model configuration, including piControl, historical (concentration-driven), and amip.

Scientific motivation: To investigate the impact of remapping Australia’s vegetation in ACCESS-ESM1.6 on the carbon, water and energy cycles.
