Outputs of the regional climate model MAR v3.6.41 for Antarctica, resolution 35km + source code =========================================== Cécile Agosta, 23 Jan 2019 [e-mail] =========================================== Grid specifications are given in MAR-ant35km-grid.nc (projection : EPSG 3031). * State variables are averages of daily means: TT > temperature (°C) ZZ > height above sea level (m) UU, VV > x-wind and y-wind in the stereographic grid (m s-1) UV > wind speed (m s-1) State variables ending with z (e.g. UUz) are interpolated on fixed altitude levels above the ground. State variables ending with p (e.g. UUp) are interpolated on fixed pressure levels. * SMB components are summed: kg m-2 month-1 for montly files, kg m-2 year-1 for annual files, kg m-2 year-1 for clim files snf > snowfall rnf > rainfall rof > run-off sbl > sublimation/condensation smb = snf + rnf - sbl - rof mlt > snowmelt rfz > refreezing If you use this data, please cite the final accepted version of this article: Agosta C., Amory C., Kittel C., Orsi A., Favier V., Gallée H., van den Broeke M.R., Lenaerts J.T., van Wessem J.M., & Fettweis X.
