Model outputs to "Langtang Ice Cliff Modelling Study"

This dataset contains all the model results of our study "Supraglacial ice cliffs can substantially increase the mass loss of debris-covered glaciers".

The zip-file contains one main folder: "Cliffmodel_Results" (produced using the 3D-backwasting ice cliff model from Buri et al., 2016b, Buri & Pellicciotti, 2018).

More raw data upon request.
