Tiwi Island thunderstorm tests

Experiment title :bell:: Tiwi Islands thunderstorm simulations

Summary :bell:: A series of short simulations of island thunderstorms testing out different initial conditions.

Scientific motivation: Depending on the chosen setups, the sensitivity of island thunderstorm development to environmental conditions, land surface, sea-surface temperatures, and potentially a globally warmed atmosphere may be tested.

Experiment Name :bell:: Tiwi
People :bell:: Chris Chambers, Yi Huang
Model: ACCESS-rAM3
Initial conditions: ERA5 and idealized data
Run plan: 6 to 24 hours
Total KSUs required :bell:: 5 KSU
Total storage required :bell:: 500 GB
Outputs: /scratch/gx60/cc6171/cylc-run/u-dg768/share/cycle/20161212T0000Z/Tiwi/Tiwi_1/RAL3P2/um

I have gone 3 times over my storage estimate and currently have 1.5 TB of output from these simulations in /g/data/gx60/experiments/2025-06-11_tiwi
Would it be possible to get an additional 1.5 TB of storage to a total of 3 TB or would it be best for me to store the simulation output elsewhere?

Thanks!

Hi @cchambers, I can allocate an additional 1.5TB of storage for you to complete your current simulations and analyse the output. Please keep in mind that this is only temporary storage and you may be asked at a later stage to move this data.

thanks Heidi! and understood, I will look for a more permanent place for the long term storage of the data
