Ice flow model output for Pine Island Glacier (West Antarctica), from numerical inversions of ice surface velocities observed in 1996 and 2014

Resolution: 2000 m grid spacing projected in Antarctic Polar Stereographic projection, latitude of true scale -71 degrees south, datum WGS84. Extent: Top: 37000 m Left: -1755500 m Right: - 1343500 m Bottom: -387000 m The netcdf files contain fields for all three simulations (I1996_MC, I2014_DH and I2014_MC, consistent with names used in the referenced paper). The 5 available fields are: the ice surface velocity, Vels_[YR]_[Geom] , in m/yr. the ice basal velocity, Velb_[YR]_[Geom] , in m/yr. the basal traction, Tauf_[YR]_[Geom] , in Pa. the basal melt rates, bmlt_[YR]_[Geom] , in m/yr. the basal water fluxes, Bwatflx_[YR]_[Geom] , in m3/yr. In the above field names, [YR] is set to 96 or 14, for the 1996 and 2014 velocity inversions, respectively; [Geom] is set to MC if the inversion used the mass-conserved ice geometry. It is set to DH if the geometry accounts for ice thinning observed for Pine Island Glacier after 2004.
