This page contains the results of a basal drag inversion performed for the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS). We provide the results in NetCDF files of our six conducted experiments in the associated (not yet published) study, showing the basal drag and basal drag coefficient, as well as the outputs of the 1D steady-state thermal model. In addition, the Matlab scripts used to generate the figures in our manuscript and the finite element mesh are uploaded. To perform the inversion and L-curve analysis, we rely on the inversion model presented in Wolovick et al. (2023) (available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7798650). All parameters and the added code are included in an uploaded spreadsheet (Parameters_ISSMInversion.xlsx). Name conventions m#: Describes the exponent in the sliding law. The values can bet set to m1 (linear sliding) or m3 (non-linear sliding). Ntype: Describes the effective pressure source in the sliding law. Values are "noN" (i.e., Weertman sliding), "Nop" (i.e., parameterized effective pressure) and "Ncuas" (i.e., effective pressure used from subglacial hydrology CUAS-MPI). Budd, Weertman: Describes the two different sliding laws we use in this manuscript. Budd uses an effective pressure source and Weertman does not use an effective pressure field. Figure scripts The following scripts generate all figures shown in the manuscript: AllLcurveFigures_v1.m: Creates Figure 6 in the manuscript. BestDragFigure_v1.m: Creates Figure 13, Figure 14 and Figure 16 in the manuscript. BestInversionComparisonFigure_v1.m: Creates Figure 15 in the manuscript.
