Description
These data contain time-integrated and otherwise time-reduced glacier model output variables.

File names:
alpcyc.{1km|2km}.{epic|grip|md01}.{cp|pp}.agg.nc
- Horizontal resolution:
- 1km: 1 km horizontal resolution
- 2km: 2 km horizontal resolution
- Temperature forcing:
- epic: EPICA ice core temperature forcing
- grip: GRIP ice core temperature forcing
- md01: MD01-2444 core temperature forcing
- Precipitation forcing:
- cp: constant precipitation
- pp: palaeo-precipitation reduction
Data format:
The data use compressed netCDF format. For quick inspection I recommend ncview. Conversion to GeoTIFF (and other GIS formats) can be achieved with e.g. GDAL::
gdal_translate NETCDF:filename.nc:variable filename.variable.tif
The list of variables (subdatasets) can be obtained from ncdump or gdalinfo. To convert all variables to separate files use:
gdalinfo $filename | grep NETCDF | cut -d '=' -f 2 |
egrep -v '(lat|lon|time_bounds)' | while read sub
do gdal_translate $sub ${filename%.nc}.${sub##*:}.tif
done
Variable long names, units, PISM configuration parametres and additional information are contained within the netCDF metadata. Also see continuous variables.
Changelog:
- Version 2:
- Add age coordinate in kiloyears (ka) before present.
- Use ka units for covertime, deglacage and maxthkage.
- Version 1:
- Initial version
