COSIMA: Consortium for Ocean-Sea Ice Modelling in AustraliaACCESS-OM2 is being developed by COSIMA (cosima.org.au)COSIMA is two things:

1. A collaborative consortium within Australia’s ocean & sea ice modellingcommunity that integrates capability from different groups, and

2. A Linkage Project to develop ACCESS-OM2, a global coupledocean - sea ice model

I for nationwide use in ocean and sea ice process studies on timescales up tomultidecadal (at high resolution) or multicentennial (at low resolution)

I to form the dynamical core of Bluelink (OceanMAPSv4.0), to extend Bluelinkreanalyses and forecasts to global coverage, including sea ice

I to inform the development of higher-resolution ocean and sea ice componentsin future versions of the ACCESS coupled climate model

Partners (investigators) include:I Australian Antarctic Division (Heil)I BoM (Brassington)I CSIRO (Oke)I ANU (Hogg), UNSW (England, Spence) & UTas (Heil, Nikurashin)
