ACCESS Models

ACCESS models are computer programs that represent major components of the Earth system (e.g., atmosphere, land surface, ocean, sea ice, etc.) using complex mathematical equations. These components can be connected through a coupler to create ACCESS models, which are used to simulate past or future conditions as well as idealised experiments.

ACCESS-CM ACCESS-CM is a global climate model that includes the atmosphere, land, ocean and sea-ice components, and produces physical climate simulations.

ACCESS-ESM ACCESS-ESM is a global climate model with additional land and ocean biogeochemical components to simulate both the physical climate and global biogeochemical cycles.

ACCESS-OM ACCESS-OM is a global coupled ocean and sea ice model used to understand both physical and biogeochemical processes in the ocean.

ACCESS-rAM ACCESS-rAM is an implementation of the UKMO Regional Nesting Suite that allows high-resolution regional atmosphere modelling.
