ISMIP6 initMIP-Greenland simulations

This dataset contains the initMIP-Greenland model simulations from the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for CMIP6 (ISMIP6). As described in Nowicki et al. (2016) and Goelzer et al. (2019), the initMIP-Greenland experiments focus on ice sheet initialization for the Greenland ice sheet and associated uncertainty in sea-level projections.

See here for the protocol, participating models and requested model output data.  Results of initMIP-Greenland have been published in Goelzer et al. (2019). The dataset is also available on Zenodo.

The table below (from Goelzer et al. (2019)) provides a brief overview of the participating models and their characteristics.

Acknowledgements

The experimental protocol and datasets for the ISMIP6-initMIP-Greenland standalone ice sheet simulations would not have been possible without the effort of many scientists that have given their time and expertise. Finally, we thank the ISMIP6 ice sheet modelers for their feedback on the design of the protocol and their willingness to participate in ISMIP6.

Terms of use and citation requirements

To enable modeling groups and others who support CMIP6 and ISMIP6 to demonstrate its impact (and secure ongoing funding), you are required to cite and acknowledge those who have made CMIP6 and ISMIP6 possible. Please read and adhere to the CMIP6 and ISMIP6 Terms of Use.
