Get Started
+ +If you are new to climate science or ACCESS models, and you want to: + +- Run your own experiment +- Get model outputs +- Evaluate model performance +- Perform other tasks involving ACCESS Models + +You will need to follow these steps to get started with any of the tasks above. + +## Create an NCI user account +Most of the data and models you will need are available at the National Computing Infrastructure (NCI) . +To be able to access them, you need an NCI account. +
+Sign up here if you don't have one yet. +
+ You will need an institutional email address with an organisation that allows access to NCI (e.g. an Australian university, ACCESS-NRI, CSIRO, CLEX, etc.). +
+ If you don't think you possess an email address with such institution, please get in contact. +
+Once you sign up, you will be assigned a username (e.g. `ab1234`). We will also refer to this username as `$USER`. + +## Join relevant NCI projects +To join a project, search for it on NCI website and request membership. + +Every project has an ID (e.g. `xp65`). This ID is what the term project actually refers to. +
+The first project that you join will become your default one. We will also refer to it as `$PROJECT`. +
+If you want to change your default project, please check how to change your default project on gadi. + +There are several NCI projects that may be relevant to you, depending on the tasks you want to carry out. +
+Even though we recommend you have a chat with your supervisor to identify the relevant projects for your needs, the table below has a list of some of the most useful climate-related projects at NCI: + +| Project | Description | Group | +|:------- |:----------- |:----- | +| tm70 | ACCESS-NRI Working Project |ACCESS-NRI | +| iq82 | ACCESS-NRI MED Compute | ACCESS-NRI | +| kj13 | ACCESS-NRI MED Data Dev | ACCESS-NRI | +| ct11 | ACCESS-NRI Replicated Datasets | ACCESS-NRI | +| xp65 | ACCESS-NRI Analysis Environments | ACCESS-NRI | +| access | ACCESS software sharing | ACCESS | +| p66 | ACCESS - AOGCM / suppport development of the ACCESS modelling system | ACCESS | +| p73 | ACCESS Model Output Archive (AOGCM) | ACCESS | +| hh5 | Climate-LIEF Data Storage | Data output| +| ub7 | Seasonal Prediction ACCESS-S1 Hindcast | Data output| +| ux62 | Seasonal Prediction ACCESS-S2 Hindcast | Data output| +| cb20 | ESGF CMIP3 Replication Data | Data output| +| al33 | ESGF CMIP5 Replication Data | Data output| +| rr3 | ESGF CMIP5 Australian Data Publication | Data output| +| oi10 | ESGF CMIP6 Replication Data | Data output| +| fs38 | ESGF CMIP6 Australian Data Publication | Data output| +| rt52 | ERA5 Replicated Data: Single and pressure-levels data | Data output| +| uc16 | ERA5 Replicated Datasets on Potential Temperature & Vorticity Levels | Data output| +| zz93 | ERA5-Land Replicated Data | Data output| +| zv2 | Australian Gridded Climate Data (AGCD) Collection | Data output| +| qv56 | Reference Datasets for Climate Model Analysis/Forcing | Data output| +| cj50 | COSIMA Model Output Collection | Data output| +| ik11 | COSIMA shared working space | Other projects | +| v45 | Ocean Extremes | Other projects | +| ga6 | Modelling the formation of sedimentary basins and continental margins | Other projects | +| m18 | Evolution and dynamics of the Australian lithosphere | Other projects | +| q97 | Earth dynamics and resources over the last billion years | Other projects | +| qu79 | Collaborative REAnalysis Technical Environment Intercomparison Project (CREATE-IP) | Other projects | + +## Log in to Gadi +Operations such as model runs and output data I/O take place on the Gadi supercomputer. + +To log in to Gadi you need a few pre-requisites: + \ No newline at end of file
