Description

This repository provides the source data one cannot automatically download needed to generate the input data for the Aletsch glacier setup in the Glaide.jl model.

The repository contains following 4 datasets:

aletsch_fix.dat

The surface mass balance (SMB) data is provided in the form of annual mass balance per elevation band. The data set covers time period from 1914 to 2022. We extract and use the SMB data for 2016-2017 hydrological year.
