:loudspeaker: !! Attention ACCESS-rAM3 users
This message is relevant to you if you are interested in using ACCESS-rAM3.

For the next release, ACCESS-NRI is planning to migrate ACCESS-rAM3 to GitHub. This is required following the UK Met Office’s plans to retire the current SVN-based system, MOSRS.

Migrating to GitHub means users must have access to the Met Office’s GitHub organisation before they can access the ACCESS-rAM3 configurations and source code. This requirement is enforced by GitHub and cannot be bypassed. Only users who meet this requirement will have access to future ACCESS-rAM3 releases. The current release will remain available through MOSRS until the system is retired (date TBA).

Note that, starting in 2027, the rosie system used for version-controlling user configurations will become read-only. All configuration changes will then need to be made through GitHub.

As access to the Met Office’s GitHub organisation can take time, we encourage you to start the process now by following these instructions.
