The ACCESS Atmosphere Model (ACCESS-AM) is a global land-atmosphere model that includes atmosphere, aerosols and atmospheric chemistry and land.

ACCESS-AM3

ACCESS-AM3 is a suite of coupled atmosphere-land configurations developed by ACCESS-NRI, CSIRO and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Weather in the 21st Century.

ACCESS-NRI has released the following ACCESS-AM3 configurations.

Configuration Description
n96e a low-resolution configuration based on the UKMO GC9 framework
n512e-aeroclim a higher resolution configuration derived from the n96e setup but using prescribed climatological aerosols

Model Components

  • Atmosphere: UM13.8.

  • Aerosols and Atmospheric Chemistry: GLOMAP and UKCA.

  • Land: ACCESS-AM3 uses CABLE for most land interactions, complemented by JULES for processes not available in CABLE.
