<!-- Model evaluation is about measuring how fit for purpose a particular model is. -->

ACCESS-NRI's Model Evaluation and Diagnostics (MED) work is a critical facet of climate modeling, encompassing various tasks designed to ensure the model's reliability and accuracy.
ACCESS-NRI's Model Evaluation and Diagnostics (MED) work is a critical facet of climate modeling that includes the comparison of different models and their confrontation with real-world data to test a model's reliability and accuracy in order to draw scientific conclusions.

## Getting Started with MED

Here, we provide catalogs and pointers to [observational data](./model_evaluation_observational_catalogs.md) as well as [model data](./model_evaluation_model_catalogs/index.md) that can be used for evaluation. We also provide a number of [frameworks for model evaluation](./model_evaluation_on_gadi/index.md). We are also working on implementing more frameworks and recipes as well as formatting tools for a better model evaluation and diagnostics.

## What is MED about?

**Evaluation** involves scrutinizing the model through Model/Observation confrontations, checking its performance against real-world observations. It also includes experiment comparisons, testing the model under different scenarios, and inter-model comparisons like the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP), assessing how the ACCESS-NRI model fares when compared with other climate models.

**Diagnostics** involves constant monitoring of model runs to detect any anomalies or inconsistencies and a thorough analysis of outputs to verify the model's accuracy over time.
