Hello everyone,

A fellow PhD student who is new to using ACCESS-OM2 was asking me if there is any training material available for first time users? I pointed her to the COSIMA recipes repository and the COSIMA cookbook wiki. Are there any other resources available for beginners I should share with her?

First tip: get her on the forum and encourage her to ask her questions here. That will help other beginners!

Now, I’ll let ocean folks answer with information you actually asked about.

Yes, I definitely did and hopefully I convinced her that this is a much friendlier version of other public forums

The cookbook is a good place to start. There’s also some info on the control experiments here [ACCESS-OM2 Control Runs](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/access-om2-control-runs/258)
