Description

This repository contains the code to generate stochastic realizations of sub-ice-shelf bathymetry for Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf, Dotson Ice Shelf, and Crosson Ice shelf, as well as 3 ensembles of realizations. Ensemble 1 includes geostatistical simulation of the Bouguer gravity disturbance and random background densities, ensemble 2 includes geostatistical simulation of the Bouguer disturbance but no background density sampling, and ensemble 3 uses a constant mean Bouguer disturbance and constant background density. The ensembles were generated at 2000 m resolution and were upscaled onto the original BedMachine 500 m grid. The results are in the following NetCDF files:

Ensemble 1:

dens_geoid_500.nc

dens_geoid_2000.nc

Ensemble 2:

nodens_geoid_500.nc

nodens_geoid_2000.nc

Ensemble 3:

krige_geoid_500.nc

krige_geoid_2000.nc

In order to reproduce the results see https://github.com/mjfield2/stochastic_bathymetry for usage instructions.
