ACCESS-NRI has taken on responsibility for ongoing support of ACCESS-OM2, so this repository is not being updated and will eventually be archived.
New ACCESS-OM2 experiments and code development should use the latest code release from ACCESS-NRI/ACCESS-OM2 and configurations from ACCESS-NRI/access-om2-configs, and all new issues should be posted on one of those repositories.
Standard configuration for 0.25 degree ACCESS-OM2 experiment (ACCESS-OM2-025) with JRA55-do 1 May 1990 - 30 April 1991 repeat-year forcing (RYF9091).
This is the physics-only version, on the master branch. For the version with BGC, use the master+bgc branch.
For usage instructions, see the ACCESS-OM2 wiki.
Run length and timestep are set in accessom2.nml. The default timestep for this configuration is 1350 seconds, and the model is stable with this timestep right from the start. After the first year or two of model equilibration you may be able to run with a 1800s timestep for faster throughput.
NOTE: All ACCESS-OM2 model components and configurations are undergoing continual improvement. We strongly recommend that you "watch" this repo (see button at top of screen; ask to be notified of all conversations) and also watch ACCESS-OM2, all the component models, and payu to be kept informed of updates, problems and bug fixes as they arise.
We request that users of this or other ACCESS-OM2 model code:
- consider citing Kiss et al. (2020) (http://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-13-401-2020)
- include an acknowledgement such as the following: The authors thank the Consortium for Ocean-Sea Ice Modelling in Australia (COSIMA; http://www.cosima.org.au) for making the ACCESS-OM2 suite of models available at https://github.com/COSIMA/access-om2.
- let us know of any publications which use these models or data so we can add them to our list.
