# This repository contains model output and figure plotting script for the publication Dawson et al., 2022, “Ice mass loss sensitivity to the Antarctic ice sheet basal thermal state”. 

# To generate figures from the manuscript, run paper_figs.m. Note that ISSM must be installed first. The model is open source and can be downloaded here: https://issm.jpl.nasa.gov/download/

# The .mat files in the repository are the ISSM output files generated from this study. Below are short descriptions of those files:

# ISSM initialization results
Antarctica_Initialization.mat

# ISSM 100 year control run (no modification to the basal friction coefficient):
Antarctica_Transient_Ctrl_100yrs.mat

# ISSM output files for the four thaw experiments discussed in the manuscript
Antarctica_Transient_Exp1_100yrs.mat
Antarctica_Transient_Exp2_100yrs.mat
Antarctica_Transient_Exp3_100yrs.mat
Antarctica_Transient_Exp4_100yrs.mat

# The zipped files called Masks and DrainageBasins are needed to run the figure plotting script (paper_figs.m). We use the drainage basin outlines defined by E. Rignot and J. Mouginot and used by IMBIE-3: http://imbie.org/imbie-2016/drainage-basins/
