MARv3.10 outputs used in: Mottram, R., Hansen, N., Kittel, C., van Wessem, M., Agosta, C., Amory, C., Boberg, F., van de Berg, W. J., Fettweis, X., Gossart, A., van Lipzig, N. P. M., van Meijgaard, E., Orr, A., Phillips, T., Webster, S., Simonsen, S. B., and Souverijns, N.: What is the Surface Mass Balance of Antarctica? An Intercomparison of Regional Climate Model Estimates, The Cryosphere Discuss. [preprint], https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-2019-333, accepted, 2020. MARv3.10 forced by ERA-Interim outputs with monthly values of SMB and components (kg m-2 month-1), and (near-) surface temperature (°C) over the Antarctic ice sheet (1981--2018) Grid file used in MAR simulation Be carreful that the unit metadata in the netcdf files from SMB and its components are uncorrect. Values are in kg m-2 month-1 instead of kg m-2 day-1. If you need other variables or output frequencies from MAR, write me ([e-mail]) and I will be glad to help you. I will also be happy to share the scripts I have developed to analyse the outputs and make the figures in this paper if needed. Please cite the paper if you use these MAR outputs. However, note that these outputs are now considered as deprecated since new outputs using a more recent model version (MARv3.11) and forcing (ERA5) have been published (see Kittel et al., 2021: https://tc.copernicus.org/articles/15/1215/2021/). Data usage notice: If you use any of these results, please acknowledge the work of the people involved in producing them. Acknowledgements should have language similar to the below that contained informations related to MAR. In order to document MAR scientific impact and enable ongoing support of the model, users are likely encouraged to contact C. Kittel and C. Agosta to add their works in the list of MAR-related publications. "We thank the MAR team which make available the model outputs, as well agencies (F.R.S - FNRS, CÉCI, and the Walloon Region) that provided computational resources for MAR simulations."
