ACCESS - Australian Community Climate Earth System Simulator,
FAME - Friends of Atmospheric Modelling and Experimentation

The intention of this tutorial series is to present two ~20-30 minute ACCESS Model Development tutorials every three weeks.
The venue for these seminars will alternate between bmrc and cmar.

• UM physics and setting-up UM SCM cases - Christian Jakob, BMRC (060914)
  This presentation briefly introduces the UM physics. The fields required to run UM SCM cases is also discussed.
• Introduction to the umui and scum - Greg Roff, BMRC (060914,ppt)
  This presentation introduces you to the Unified Model User Interface (umui) and how to use this to create and
  modify the Single Column for the Unified Model. This Single Column Model (SCM) is then run on a test TOGA case
  and the output converted to netcdf for viewing.
• The ACCESS physics package - Christian Jakob, BMRC (061005)
  This presentation briefly introduces the proposed ACCESS physics package.
• Grid-structure in the UKMO UM DC - Gary Dietachmayer, BMRC (061005,ppt)
  This presentation introduces you to the Unified Model grid structure.
• Overview of the (old) cloud scheme in HadGAM and comparison with the CSIRO (Rotstayn) scheme
  - Leon Rotstayn, CMAR (061026,ppt)
  This presentation introduces you to the UM Cloud scheme and compares it to the CMAR Rotstayn scheme.
• The UM Gravity wave drag schemes - Greg Roff, BMRC (061026,ppt)
  This presentation is an overview of the UM orographic and spectral gravity wave drag schemes, and a comparison
  of the former with the BAM gwd schemes.
• The new PC2 cloud scheme - Charmain Franklin , BMRC (070201,ppt)
  The new PC2 cloud scheme is introduced in this session.
• The overall physics calling structure - Lawrie Rikus, BMRC (070201)
  This presentation briefly introduces the overall UM physics calling structure.
• The PBL in the UM - Peter Hurley, CMAR (070322)
  This presentation introduces the PBL used in the UM.
• The UM land surface scheme, Eva Kowalczyk, CMAR (070322)
  This presentation introduces the land surface scheme.
• The UM convection scheme compared with CSIRO2 - Hongyan Zhu, BMRC (070614)
  This presentation introduces the UM convection scheme and compares it with the convection scheme from CSIRO2.
• The HADGAM Aerosol scheme - Leon Rotstayn, CMAR (070614)
  This presentation introduces the UM HADGAM Aerosol scheme.
• Impact of aerosols on clouds - initial findings from TWP-ICE - Peter May, BMRC (070712)
  Peter May introduced initial results from the TWP-ICE Experiment dealing with the impact of aerosols on cloud
  formation.
• An Introduction to Calipso - Leon Rotstayn, CMAR (070712)
  Leon introduced the Calipso satellite and its products.
• An overview of the UM 6.3 Dynamical Core - Gary Dietachmayer, BMRC (070809)
  Gary goes through the theory behind the UM 6.3 dynamical core.
• An introduction to ruunning UM6.3 SCM and UM Seasonal Experiments - Greg Roff, BMRC (070809)
  Greg goes through how to setup and run both the UM 6.3 Single Column Model and short seasonal experiments
  using the UM 6.3 3D model.
• Climate Benchmark Diagnostics (MACCS_7.1) - L.Deschamps, K.C.Nguyen and T.Elliott, CAWCR(BMRC/CMAR) (070906)
  Lilia compares UM amip climate, CCAM and climatology climate benchmark diagnostics created by MACCS 7.1 on
  the global scale and then Kim then went on to look at a similar comparison for the regional Australian.
• Report of ACCESS visit to UKMO July 2007 - Michael Naughton, CAWCR(BMRC) (070906)
  Michael reports on the discussions he had with UKMO scientists during his visit.
• The CSIRO Atmosphere Biosphere Land Exchange model (CABLE) - Preliminary JULES results using CABLE's submodels - Eva Kowalczyk, Yingping Wang and Rachel Law, CAWCR(CMAR) (071018)
• Preliminary results from SCM6.3+PC2 using TWP-ICE data - Charmaine Franklin, CAWCR(BMRC) (071018)
