General Info This data archive contains the updatedglacier-coverand glacier regionsfor the Community Land Model version 5 (CLM5)/Community Terrestrial Systems Model (CTSM). The updated glacier-cover and glacier regions areused for a study on the evaluation of variable-resolution (VR)CESM2 in High Mountain Asia ( https://tc.copernicus.org/preprints/tc-2022-256/ ). The data archive alsocontains the model scripts and input files that have been used tocreate the glacier-cover dataset. The global glacier outlines used for the glacier-coverdataset were retrieved from the Randolph Glacier Inventory version 6 (RGI-Consortium, 2017).The vector data for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets were retrieved from the masks of Bedmachine version 4 (Morlighem et al., 2017, 2021) and version 2 (Morlighem et al., 2020; Morlighem, 2020), respectively. Contact René Wijngaard ( [e-mail] / [e-mail] ) Dataset Contents <code>mksrf_glacier_3x3min_simyr2000.c210708.nc</code> The updated glacier-cover dataset, encompassingthree 3-minute datasets: 1) fractional land ice coverage, including both glaciers and ice sheets (PCT_GLACIER), 2) distributions of areal glacier coverage by elevation (PCT_GLC_GIC), and 3) distributions of areal ice-sheet coverage by elevation (PCT_GLC_ICESHEET). <code>mksrf_GlacierRegion_10x10min_nomask_c200813.nc</code> The updatedglacier regions, encompassing five different glacier regions (0 - Other regions, 1 -Inside standard CISM grid but outside Greenland itself, 2 - Greenland, 3- Antarctica, and 4 - High Mountain Asia (new)), usedto set the icemelt and runoff behaviourin CLM5/CTSM (more detailed information can be found in the CLM5 Documentation, https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/ ) <code>model_scripts.tar</code> Model scripts used for creating the glacier-cover dataset. A README file is included that lists instructions on how to make the glacier-cover dataset. <code>glacier_final.tar</code> Input files used to create the ...
