| Summary: | This dataset contains model input and output in netCDF format, model code, and analysis scripts for simulations of Humboldt Glacier, North Greenland, through the 21st century (Hillebrand et al., 2022) using the MPAS-Albany Land Ice model (Hoffman et al., 2018). We calibrate parameters controlling basal traction, iceberg calving, and submarine melt against observations from 2007–2017. We then explore the glacier’s sensitivity to climate forcing, iceberg calving, and basal conditions in an ensemble of 24 simulations from 2007–2100. We further explore its sensitivity to uncertainties in ice-shelf melt, bed topography, and calving rate limits in targeted sensitivity experiments. Input files include surface mass balance, ocean thermal forcing, and subglacial runoff forcings provided by ISMIP6 (Nowicki et al., 2020; Slater et al., 2020). Output includes basal traction optimization solutions for the year 2007; annual 2D ice speed, basal shear and driving stresses, and geometry; annual 3D temperature; and grounded, floating, and global mass budgets at every timestep.
