Acknowledgements
If you used or benefited from the COSIMA and/or ACCESS-NRI community, either the models, or outputs, or analysis tools, or workflows they have provided, then we would expect you to give an acknowledgment. A suggested acknowledgement is below. Please modify as needed, especially text within angle brackets:
This work was supported by computational resources provided by the Australian Government through the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) under the <National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme> and/or <ANU Merit Allocation Scheme>. We thank the vibrant communities of the Consortium for Ocean–Sea Ice Modelling in Australia (COSIMA; cosima.org.au) and Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator National Research Infrastructure (ACCESS-NRI; access-nri.org.au) for making the <ACCESS-OM2> and/or <ACCESS-OM3>, <models> and/or <outputs> and/or <analysis tools> available through the NCI. COSIMA is funded through the Australian Research Council grant LP200100406.
Wondering if you need to acknowledge ACCESS-NRI? As of Dec 2024, the following services are maintained by ACCESS NRI: Payu, hh5, intake catalogue, new COSIMA recipes, ACCESS-OM2 and ACCESS-OM3 executables and configurations, access hive docs and forum, and inputs forcing files. Â
If you use a recipe from the COSIMA Cookbook for your research or teaching, or have based your analysis on one of the recipes, we would be grateful if you could cite:
