Unlike the UKMO Regional Nesting Suite that relies on operational land-surface initial conditions, ACCESS-rAM derives its initial conditions from alternative sources, enhancing its capability for high-resolution regional atmosphere modelling on [Gadi](https://opus.nci.org.au/display/Help/0.+Welcome+to+Gadi#id-0.WelcometoGadi-Overview). ACCESS-rAM requires both initial conditions and lateral boundary (_driving_) conditions. It also supports multiple [_nesting_](#nesting) configurations, automatically providing their necessary initial and lateral boundary conditions.
