access-cm3-configs Overview

ACCESS-CM3 configurations are provided via branches in the access-cm3-configs GitHub repository, this repository is currently private. The access-cm3-configs repository contains several configurations using the following components:

• MOM5 ocean model
• UM atmosphere model

All the configurations use the Payu and rose/cylc workflow management tools, and pre-built executables available on NCI.

Repository structure

Each configuration in github.com/ACCESS-NRI/access-cm3-configs repository is stored as a git branch. Most of the branches are named according to the following naming scheme:

Supported configurations

How to use this repository to run a model

All configurations use payu and rose/cylc to run the model.

This repository contains many related experimental configurations to make support and discovery easier. As a user it does not necessarily make sense to clone all the configurations at once.

In most cases only a single experiment is required. If that is the case, choose which experiment and then run

git clone -b <experiment> https://github.com/ACCESS-NRI/access-cm3-configs <experiment>

and replace <experiment> with the branch name or tag of the experiment you wish to run.

ACCESS-Hive contains detailed instructions for how to configure and run ACCESS models with payu.

CI and Reproducibility Checks

This repository makes use of GitHub Actions to perform reproducibility checks on model config branches.
