Improvements in atmospheric physical parameterizations for the Australian Community Climate and Earth-System Simulator (ACCESS)

Available online: https://www.cawcr.gov.au/publications/

The Australian Community Climate and Earth-System Simulator (ACCESS) is a new coupled ocean and atmosphere climate modelling system being developed at the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research (CAWCR). ACCESS uses the UK Met Office Unified Model (Met UM, Davies et al. 2005) as its atmospheric component, which is coupled with the GFDL Ocean Model version 4.1 (MOM4p1, Griffies et al. 2009) and the Los Alamos National Laboratory Sea Ice Model version 4.1 (CICE4, Hunke and Lipscomb 2010), using the numerical coupler OASIS3.25 (Valcke 2006). The development of ACCESS has followed the implementation of the numerical weather prediction (NWP) system developed by the UK Met Office which uses the Met UM for atmospheric prediction with a 4-DVAR assimilation system [...].
