The Unified Model is the atmospheric component of ACCESS, developed by the UK's Met Office. The Centre of Excellence sublicences the UM from CAWCR, our licence allows us to run the UM at NCI only. To run the UM you will first need an NCI account, then ask for connection to the ACCESS group through NCI's account website.

The ACCESS climate models are based on version 7.3 of the UM, most Australian university research uses this version. The Bureau makes use of the more recent version 7.8 for forecasting, and is evaluating moving to version 8.2. These are the primary versions supported at NCI, other versions are available but may not be quite as well tested. Different versions include changed science configurations, for details see the release notes.

Getting Started

The UM is configured through a graphical interface, which is run from the server accessdev.nci.org.au. See Setting up the environment for how to connect.

UM 10 / Global Atmosphere / ACCESS 2.x

The current version of the Unified Model is available from the Met Office's repository site https://code.metoffice.gov.uk.

ARCCSS researchers need to email climate_help@nci.org.au to request an account on the Met Office server.

Supported Experiments

Unsupported Experiments

This list contains Models and Experiments that are currently adapted for NCI and/or developed, but are not yet operational for scientific use at ARCCSS

UM 7.3 / ACCESS 1.x

The ACCESS climate model as used in CMIP5 uses model version 7.3. This version of the model uses the older `UMUI` user interface

Supported Experiments


Other Versions

Unsupported Experiments

  • TransposeAMIP: Start an AMIP run from reanalysis initial conditions
  • Fire Model: UM 8.4 limited area run with coupled fire model
