Hi All. One of 21stCenturyWeather’s aims is to be build a regional coupled model, combining high resolution atmospheric and ocean models. I posted this thread on the 21stCenturyWeather Cumulus website, but I thought I’d cross-post it here to get some extra attention (it was a little love-starved o…

Hi @Paul.Gregory , exciting to hear about the plans for the regional coupling! Just jumping in with a few details re CM3. @kieranricardo will be able to clarify in a bit more detail when he is back! As CM3 is still in development there is a bit of clean up that could still be done to make the suite …

Hi all. For rCM3 development I’d like to build a NUOPCY executable that can run inside a debugger. I need some advice as to the best way to achieve this: Currently, the CM3 config (latest branch is https://github.com/ACCESS-NRI/access-cm3-configs/tree/cm3-O100km-vn13.8 ) does the following (I thin…

An end of year update. Things we have learnt recently. You can’t run an ancil suite task with a domain without any land points. (This is mentioned in the ACCESS rAM3 release notes but the link to the work-around docs is broken). The ancil_lct task will run, but the downstream task ancil_lct_postpr…

Some updates. @ashjbarnes has been working on rCM3 now for over a month. He has got both the UM and MOM6 to run in a regional configuration for one timestep, but the NUOCPY mediator fails at this point. Ashley is working closely with Kieran and Martin to reconcile this issue (created by the curren…

@Paul.Gregory, FYI the link to the workaround has now been fixed in the ACCESS rAM3 release notes.
