Whillans and Mercer Shear Margin Ice Flow simulation in ISSM

Abstract: The dataset includes initialization and output files of a numerical ice flow simulation of the Whillans and Mercer Ice Streams . The Ice Sheet System Model (ISSM) model was used to solve a 100-year transient stress balance solution of the region with ~10 kPA/yr friction increase downstream of the shear margin between the Whillans and Mercer ice streams.

摘要：本数据集涵盖惠兰斯冰流与默瑟冰流的数值冰流模拟初始化文件及输出文件。本次模拟采用冰盖系统模型（Ice Sheet System Model, ISSM），针对惠兰斯冰流与默瑟冰流间剪切缘下游区域，配置了约10千帕/年的摩擦强度递增条件，求解了该区域100年尺度的瞬态应力平衡解。
