CSIRO-ARCCSS ACCESS-CM2 output prepared for CMIP6Plus TBIMIP tbi-pace-I-clim-mod experiment

Updated: 2025-12-01

A partially coupled simulation using the ACCESS-CM2, with SST in the tropical Indian Ocean restored to a 12-month repeating climatology constructed from a 150-year fully coupled piControl simulation. The SST restoring region extends between 15°S and 15°N, with linear tapering over 10-degree latitude on either side to 25°S/N. The restoring timescale is set to 3 days over the 10 m ocean surface layer, equivalent to a 15-day timescale over a 50 m depth. The remainder of the ocean, as well as the atmosphere and sea ice components, evolve freely in response to this partial assimilation in the Indian Ocean. The output was post-processed using ACCESS-MOPPeR v1.1.1 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14010850), a CMOR wrapper, following the CMIP6Plus conventions.
