These data contain a subset of time-dependent glacier model output variables: Reference: J.Seguinot, I.Rogozhina, A.P.Stroeven, M.Margold, and J.Kleman. Numerical simulations of the Cordilleran ice sheet through the last glacial cycle, The Cryosphere , 10(2):639–664, 10.5194/tc-10-639-2016 , 2016. File names: <code>ciscyc4.{10km|5km}.{forcing}.{ex.1ka|ts.10a}.nc</code> Horizontal resolution: 10km : 10 km horizontal resolution 5km : 5 km horizontal resolution Temperature forcing: epica : EPICA ice core temperature forcing grip : GRIP ice core temperature forcing ngrip : NGRIP ice core temperature forcing odp1012 : ODP 1012 ocean core temperature forcing odp1020 : ODP 1020 ocean core temperature forcing vostok : Vostok ice core temperature forcing Variable types: ex.1ka : spatial diagnostics every thousand years ts.10a : scalar time-series every ten years Data format: The data use compressed netCDF format. For quick inspection I recommend ncview. Spatial diagnostics ( *.ex.1ka.nc ) can be converted to GeoTIFF (and other GIS formats) e.g. using GDAL: <code>gdal_translate NETCDF:filename.nc:variable -b band filename.variable.band.tif</code> The list of variables (subdatasets) can be obtained from ncdump or gdalinfo. The band number equals 120 minus the age in ka. Band information can be displayed with: <code>gdalinfo NETCDF:filename.nc:variable</code> Variable long names, units, PISM configuration parametres and additional information are contained within the netCDF metadata.
