ACCESS Model Output Post-Processor, maps raw model output to CMIP-style defined variables and produce post-processed output using CMOR3

ACCESS-MOPPy (Model Output Post-Processor)

ACCESS-MOPPy is a CMORisation tool designed to post-process ACCESS model output and produce CMIP-compliant datasets.

Key Features

• Python API for integration into notebooks and scripts
• Batch processing system for HPC environments with PBS
• Real-time monitoring with web-based dashboard
• Flexible CMORisation of individual variables
• Dask-enabled for scalable parallel processing
• Cross-platform compatibility (not limited to NCI Gadi)
• CMIP6 and CMIP7 FastTrack support

Installation

ACCESS-MOPPy requires Python >= 3.11. Install with:

pip install numpy pandas xarray netCDF4 cftime dask pyyaml tqdm requests streamlit
pip install .

Quick Start

Interactive Usage (Python API)

import glob
from access_moppy import ACCESS_ESM_CMORiser

# Select input files
files = glob.glob("/path/to/model/output/*mon.nc")

# Create CMORiser instance
cmoriser = ACCESS_ESM_CMORiser(
    input_paths=files,
    compound_name="Amon.pr",  # table.variable format
    experiment_id="historical",
    source_id="ACCESS-ESM1-5",
    variant_label="r1i1p1f1",
    grid_label="gn",
    activity_id="CMIP",
    output_path="/path/to/output"
)

# Run CMORisation
cmoriser.run()
cmoriser.write()

Batch Processing (HPC/PBS)

For large-scale processing on HPC systems:

1. Create a configuration file (batch_config.yml):

variables:
  - Amon.pr
  - Omon.tos
  - Amon.ts

experiment_id: piControl
source_id: ACCESS-ESM1-5
variant_label: r1i1p1f1
grid_label: gn

input_folder: "/g/data/project/model/output"
output_folder: "/scratch/project/cmor_output"

file_patterns:
  Amon.pr: "output[0-4][0-9][0-9]/atmosphere/netCDF/*mon.nc"
  Omon.tos: "output[0-4][0-9][0-9]/ocean/*temp*.nc"
  Amon.ts: "output[0-4][0-9][0-9]/atmosphere/netCDF/*mon.nc"

# PBS configuration
queue: normal
cpus_per_node: 16
mem: 32GB
walltime: "02:00:00"
scheduler_options: "#PBS -P your_project"
storage: "gdata/project+scratch/project"

worker_init: |
  module load conda
  conda activate your_environment

2. Submit batch job:

moppy-cmorise batch_config.yml

3. Monitor progress at http://localhost:8501

Batch Processing Features

The batch processing system provides:

• Parallel execution: Each variable processed as a separate PBS job
• Real-time monitoring: Web dashboard showing job status and progress
• Automatic tracking: SQLite database maintains job history and status
• Error handling: Failed jobs can be easily identified and resubmitted
• Resource optimization: Configurable CPU, memory, and storage requirements
• Environment management: Automatic setup of conda/module environments

Monitoring Tools

• Streamlit Dashboard: Real-time web interface at http://localhost:8501
• Command line: Use standard PBS commands (qstat, qdel)
• Database: SQLite tracking at {output_folder}/cmor_tasks.db
• Log files: Individual stdout/stderr for each job
