Dear CMS team,

Hope this finds you well.

I’ve been trying to run a CMIP7 simulation using UKCM2 on Archer2, but the run has been halted because I have exceeded my disk quota.

My current disk quota is 100 GB, which is insufficient for running this model. Colleagues at BAS who are also working with UKCM2 have indicated that they have quotas of around 5 TB. Would it be possible to increase my disk quota so that I can complete my experiments?

Given that ARCHER2 will be decommissioned soon, I would appreciate if this request could be considered at your earliest convenience.

Best wishes,

Gabriel
