Summary: | This processing chain will calculate monthly, three-monthly or annual frontal ablation for Greenlandic tidewater glaciers based on the following open source input data: TermPicks Terminus delineations (Goliber and Black, 2021). Satellite image (for manual delineation of fjord walls). Glacier velocity (code will automatically download ITS_LIVE velocities ~15 GB) Two Digital Elevation Models (preferably ArcticDEM and AeroDEM; Porter et al., 2018, Korsgaard et al., 2016) Surface change rate (Khan, 2017) Bedrock Topography (BedMachine v4; Morlighem et al., 2017, 2021). Solid Ice Discharge (Mankoff, 2019) The resulting dataset contains the following variables: tbounds - boundaries of time intervals on which output data defined t - midpoint of time intervals on which output data defined D - discharge during time intervals [GT/yr] TMC - terminus mass change during time intervals [GT/yr] FA - frontal ablation during time intervals [GT/yr] D0 - discharge masking out interpolated values [GT/yr] TMC0 - terminus mass ... |
