Enhancing the Representation of Glaciers and Ice Sheets in the ecLand Land-Surface Model: Impacts on Surface Energy Balance and Hydrology Across Scales

This repository includes data used to produce the figures in the manuscript "Enhancing the Representation of Glaciers and Ice Sheets in the ecLand Land-Surface Model: Impacts on Surface Energy Balance and Hydrology Across Scales" by Arduini et al. Point simulations Filename of the archive file containing all simulations: promice_sim.tar.xz Output is provided in netCDF file, one file for each experiment type and point (station) simulated, organised in sub-folders. See the main manuscript for details on the experimental setup. The name convention for the experiment setup is the following "<modelConfig>_exp<Setup>/<stationName>_<iniYear>-<endYear>/", where: modelConfig: "ctl" for the default control configuration, "glacier_50r1" for the new glacier parameterisation. stationName: name of the PROMICE site, see the manuscript for more details iniYear, endYear: initial year and final year simulated per each site. exp2: corresponds to "OBS" experimental setup in the manuscript exp3: corresponds to "E5" experimental setup in the manuscript exp4: corresponds to "E5-CLIM" experimental setup in the manuscript as an example, CTL-OBS simulations for "TAS-A" station would be under the folder: "ctl_exp2/TAS-A_2013-2022/"; corresponding site and setup for the glacier experiment: "glacier_50r1_exp2/TAS-A_2013-2022/". For the point simulations at the PROMICE stations, a spin-up procedure was applied. Simulation output files are identified by the suffix “_S<N>”, where N denotes the iteration number of the model run. Only the final iteration was analysed to generate the figures presented in the paper. The file structure is the following: o_gg_S<N>.nc : contains prognostic variables, e.g. skin (surface) temperature, snow temperature etc. o_efl_S<N>.nc : contains the energy fluxes (diagnostic quantities) accumulated over the output step. restartout_S<N>.nc: the restart file at the end of the iteration, used to initialise the following spin-up iteration. run_S<N>.log : contains the log of the model run. 2D simulations control experiment id: ij8z glacier experiment id: ilhe Albedo Albedo for the Greenland ice sheet is provided in a zip file containing daily average broadband albedo for the ctl experiment (ij8z) and the glacier experiment (ilhe). Data are converted to netCDF and interpolated to a 0.25 regular lat/lon grid. One netCDF per year is provided in each zip file. filename: albedo.zip Snow temperature Snow temperature of the top snow layer is used to compute snow melt conditions for the ctl and glacier experiments. Filename: snow_temperature.zip Surface Mass Balance Surface Mass Balance (SMB) data are provided in grib format on the original grid over the considered time period. filename: smb.zip River discharge river discharge is provided globally at 15arcmin in netCDF files for the ctl and glacier experiments. filename: discharge.zip Observational data Observation dataset can be obtained or downloaded from the relevant publications listed in the manuscript in Sect. 2.3.
