Welcome to the ACCESS-WW3 wiki!

This is fork of WW3, experimentally used for ACCCES3 models (currently ACCESS-OM3, see http://access-om3-configs.access-hive.org.au/ and https://github.com/accESS-NRI/access-om3-configs for details )

Versions

Versions in this repository follow CalVer.

e.g.

2025.03.000 is an ACCESS version based on an the upstream commit from March 2025

Updating

To update from upstream, any local commits need to be re-applied on top of the upstream commits. e.g. cherry-pick the access specific commits which are needed onto the desired upstream version

For a release, make a new branch with the name dev/YYYY.MM and version the release YYYY.MM.000, to represent the first ACCESS release based on dev/YYYY.MM. For changes without updating from upstream (or updating between upstream releases), add the changes to this same branch and increment the access version only.

For example, the dev/2025.03 branch contains some ACCESS specific commits since an upstream commit from the escomp/ww3 repository and was started in March 2025. The git tag on this repository, 2025.03.000 used commits from that branch, and if there were more ACCESS specific releases, the next release would be 2025.03.001.

In the future, some ACCESS specific commits from dev/2025.03 could be re-applied to a new dev/2025.09 branch if they are still needed. Because they are re-applied ontop of a new upstream version, they become new commits (with the same content) and have a new commit hash.

The model is principally the same as the MOM6 fork management - see that wiki for a better description
