Full description

AUS2200 simulation using the Unified Model (UM) to simulate the weather conditions during the 2022 Brisbane floods. Between late February and early March 2022, Eastern Australia received record breaking rainfall and experienced devastating flooding. The simulation period is 22-02-2022 to 07-03-2022. This simulation is run using the UM v12.2, forcing are the ECMWF ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis fields and the Bureau of Meteorology's Atmospheric high-resolution Regional Reanalysis for Australia (BARRA-R v1.0) for soil moisture. The simulation was restarted every 24 hours to avoid soil moisture drifting. The output was post-processed using the ACCESS-MOPPeR tool (doi: zenodo.10346217) following wherever possible the CMIP6 conventions.
