Question from a first-time model runner: With extensive guidance from @spencerwong I’ve successfully modded and run 20 years-worth of ACCESS-ESM1.5 (with the reduced set of output variables). The outputs are sitting in my folder on scratch. So for the next steps: are there guides/workflows somewhere as to how to - transfer the data from scratch to gdata, and more complicatedly - process the model output so it’s all nice and user friendly (like CMIP outputs)? Sorry I had a quick poke around but couldn’t find anything. ---

There is some info on syncing in the docs > **[Run ACCESS-ESM - ACCESS-Hive Docs](https://access-hive.org.au/models/run-a-model/run-access-esm/#syncing-output-data)** If you need access to short-term storage under `/g/data` you could approach the ESM Working Group as they have some resources available to researchers. As for analysing the data, it’s usually good to avoid post-processing the data. If you don’t need specific CMIP compatibility then I’d suggest using intake data catalogues to simplify access to your data. There was a recent training about this > [@21st Feb 2025 - Building and Using Intake Datastores](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/21st-feb-2025-building-and-using-intake-datastores/4185): > > Friday 21st Feb on [zoom](https://anu.zoom.us/j/88150486976?pwd=GjNteS8wQbku4EygvvKp4QQR4ySZn8.1) The goal of this session is to demonstrate how to build and use an intake datastore for individual experiments. This is targeted at analysis of ongoing experiments, or work related to a individual project. For analysis of shared and community model experiments (and some observational data) - use the [access-nri-intake-catalog](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/access-nri-intake-catalog-resources/3703) instead. ACCESS-NRI Intake Docs: [https://access-nri-intake-catalog.readthedocs.io/en/latest/datastores/quickstart.html](https://access-nri-intake-catalog.readthedocs.io/en/latest/datastores/quickstart.html) To use the latest builders… You could try following the tutorial and see if that approach works for you. ---

@georgyfalster I am going to close this topic as a solution was found. If you are still encountering issues with this, feel free to still comment below this post. Thank you Davide ---
