 This code is derived from the [APP4](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7703469), initially created by Peter Uhe for CMIP5, and further developed for CMIP6-era by Chloe Mackallah from CSIRO, O&A Aspendale.

+# ACCESS-NRI Support for ACCESS-MOPPeR
+
+With the conclusion of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEX), support for ACCESS-MOPPeR is transitioning to ACCESS-NRI.
+
+ACCESS-NRI is committed to providing continuity and will maintain the current version of ACCESS-MOPPeR, ensuring that it remains up to date and usable. Current support will include:
+
+- Bug fixes
+- Documentation
+- An up-to-date dependency stack
+- As time allows, development of new documentation and training examples for users
+
+Community contributions are encouraged, including bug reports, pull requests, and suggestions for new features.
+
+While no new development is currently planned, ACCESS-NRI recognises the value of ACCESS-MOPPeR, particularly for future CMIP7 submissions, and will be actively working with the community to prioritise future work (and resourcing).
+
+ACCESS-NRI acknowledges the outstanding contributions made by the CLEX CMS team in developing and supporting this tool, from the original APP4 (Chloe Mackallah @chloemackallah ) to MOPPeR (Paola Petrelli @Paola-CMS and Sam Green @sam.green). Their work has laid a solid foundation for ACCESS-MOPPeR's continued success.
+
+ACCESS-NRI remains dedicated to making data standardisation easier for users, ensuring that the tool continues to meet the evolving needs of the ACCESS community.
+
+For any questions or support requests, please see [ACCESS-Support](https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faccess-hive.org.au%2Fabout%2Fuser_support%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cromain.beucher%40anu.edu.au%7C3180d100195141b372b908dd101292ad%7Ce37d725cab5c46249ae5f0533e486437%7C0%7C0%7C638684394182362350%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=6TSq%2Fs88OQOXOgvCjDRFuX1NHC1QQj2OUBLmMWQ5O2s%3D&reserved=0)

+## What is MOPPeR?
 
 The MOPPeR is a CMORisation tool designed to post-process [ACCESS](https://research.csiro.au/access/) model output. The original APP4 main use was to produce [ESGF](https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/)-compliant formats, primarily for publication to [CMIP6](https://www.wcrp-climate.org/wgcm-cmip/wgcm-cmip6). The code was originally built for CMIP5, and was further developed for CMIP6-era activities.  
 It used [CMOR3](https://cmor.llnl.gov/) and files created with the [CMIP6 data request](https://github.com/cmip6dr/dreqPy) to generate CF-compliant files according to the [CMIP6 data standards](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1os9rZ11U0ajY7F8FWtgU4B49KcB59aFlBVGfLC4ahXs/edit).The APP4 also had a custom mode option to allow users to post-process output without strict adherence to the ESGF standards. MOPPeR was developed to extend the custom mode as much as it is allowed by the CMOR tool, it can be used to produce CMIP6 compliant data but other standards can also be defined.
