| Summary: | Milestone 5: The data resulting from this work havebeen distributed to WP2 for the evaluation of the format for ocean modellers. The data have been shared with the partners in the consortium through an FTP server made available by partner ETT. Looking ahead, the dataset will undergo testing by ocean modellers, to be performed by WP2 staff. Depending on the direct feedbacks of ocean modellers, this product will be further improved with the adjustment of the dataset's format, temporal resolution, and grid spacing to meet specific requirements (e.g., model domain, geometry, projections). This adaptability is essential to cater to the diverse needs of different modelling approaches. In that sense, a routine for dataset regridding will be developed in collaboration with ocean modellers. This routine will automate the process of regridding the dataset based on user-defined model setups, streamlining the workflow, and facilitating its integration into various modelling frameworks. Finally, the collection and calculation of new basal melting maps from additional satellite sensors coming from photogrammetry (Worldview, ASTER), and other satellite altimeters (e.g., Cryosat-2) will be explored for improving the spatial resolution (<500 m), in the case of local modelling applications in targeted regions of Antarctica (e.g. Amundsen sea). Ultimately, this work will feed into the deliverable D3.1 Contributions of ice sheet processes to freshwater fluxes due in April 2024, the D3.1 deliverable is public and thus all the data will be made available in open access, in full compliance with the OCEAN:ICE data management plan.
