Output from the Glacier Energy and Mass Balance (GEMB v1.0) forced with 3-hourly ERA5 fields and gridded to 10km, Greenland and Antarctica 1979-June 2022

  • 1. Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Description

These model output of firn air content (FAC) and surface mass balance (SMB) are from version 1.0 of the open-source Glacier Energy and Mass Balance model. GEMB is a column model of ice sheet and glacier surface-atmospheric energy and mass exchange as well as firn state. GEMB has been integrated into the open-source Ice-Sheet and Sea-level System Model which can be downloaded at https://issm.jpl.nasa.gov/.  Here, GEMB is forced with 3-hourly ERA5 output from 1979-June 2022.  For Greenland, the ERA5 surface temperature and downwelling longwave radiation forcing are spatially bias-corrected for each month.  All values are adjusted by the difference between the RACMO2.3 and the ERA5 1980-2015 monthly means. The GEMB output is bilinearly interpolated onto a 10km grid, from the native ISSM grid, and the output is given monthly.
