Recent AUSCOM results
(AUSCOM is the ocean-ice component of the ACCESS model)

The plots will need to be updated as runs progress or new ones are initiated, these are results from the final decade of 60 years of output from the core-Y3 run, and so it is early times for this experiment.

The analysis will be done at regular intervals. Future plots will include overlays of different versions of AUSCOM (ocean-ice) and/or ACCESS (coupled) results.
