ACCESS User Training Course 21-24 March 2016
Running the ACCESS model for research and operations
This is the wiki page for the March 2016 ACCESS User Training Workshop, held at the Bureau of Meteorology.
Course plan
The course is aimed at current, new and prospective ACCESS users, to equip people for working with the new Rose-Cylc based ACCESS weather and climate systems.
Presenters: Joao Teixeira, UK Met Office, External Collaboration Team; plus staff from the ACCESS partner organisations.
Venue: Bureau of Meteorology Conference Rooms, Level 6, 700 Collins Street, Docklands.
Monday: ACCESS, Rose-Cylc and UM
Tuesday: Seasonal Forecasting and Climate Modelling
Wednesday: Numerical Weather Prediction and High Resolution Modelling
Thursday: Development tools and work practices
The course will involve both presentations and practical sessions; both on-site and video-conference facilities for remote participation will be available. It is planned to record the sessions and make them available online, if this can be accomplished.
The course is supported by the UM Consortium Strategic Infrastructure Fund, and the ACCESS partners (Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO, ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Systems Science). There is no registration fee for the course.
Those participants planning to do the practical exercises on-site will need to bring their own laptops, and will need to be registered ACCESS users with NCI accounts on accessdev and raijin. Bureau guest wi-fi facilities will be provided for connecting with NCI facilities. Some Bureau laptops will be available for Bureau staff, as required.
Attendance will be limited to 120 participants on site for the presentations, with table space in the Conference Rooms for 65 for the practical sessions. Since Head Office Bureau staff have access to their office machines, preference will be given for 60 places for non-Bureau participants for the practical sessions.
