ACCESS-NRI Release List

Release type

The types used to categorise the release products are broad and not all releases fall neatly into these types. Some ACCESS-NRI releases involving training, informational videos on YouTube and visualisations on Vimeo are not included in the tables below.

Model: Refers to climate model components and configurations.
Tool: Refers to supporting tools used for pre- and post- processing, evaluation and diagnostics.
Data: Collections listed are curated collections which can include data required for model runs, observations for evaluation and some model outputs.

Links in the tables below point to release notes that are usually posted on the Hive Forum. In these release notes, make sure you scroll down to the latest post for most recent updates.
