NUOPC automatic remapping of fields between components will relieve some of the pain of changing resolution, and coupling via exchange grids avoids degrading the resolution of fluxes passed between a high resolution component and a lower resolution component ---

On resourcing CM3: as Christian Jakob mentioned yesterday: trillion $ decisions are being made based on models built on a shoe-string budget (and almost entirely reliant on international partnerships). It’s time for this to change if Australia wishes to be prepared properly for upcoming climate change. ---

If ESMValtool can only handle CMIP style data does that mean it is useless for other scientific research problems which are not specifically CMIP? ---

Some notes from the discussion: - Writing out the options and resources/current capacity available (avenue for funding). - 2-3 options: a. bid CSIRO does it b. community/consortium approach - Importance of Involving EMCRs - If some of the ACCESS-NRI submissions lean in CMIP7 will help for next round - Options page, Business case or project plan? - Important decisions need to be made with different timelines - Can we learn from CMIP7 – do we need a CMIP7 coordinator role? - Climate projections example . Should we have Climate modelling? - Write a draft report within a week - Involving the department (s) ---
