MARv3.10 forced by ERA-Interim outputs with monthly values of SMB and components (kg m-2 month-1), and (near-) surface temperature (°C) over the Antarctic ice sheet (1981--2018)

Grid file used in MAR simulation

Be carreful that the unit metadata in the netcdf files from SMB and its components are uncorrect. Values are in kg m-2 month-1 instead of kg m-2 day-1.

If you need other variables or output frequencies from MAR,  write me ([e-mail]) and I will be glad to help you. I will also be happy to share the scripts I have developed to analyse the outputs and make the figures in this paper if needed. Please cite the paper if you use these MAR outputs. However, note that these outputs are now considered as deprecated since new outputs using a more recent model version (MARv3.11) and forcing (ERA5) have been published (see Kittel et al., 2021: https://tc.copernicus.org/articles/15/1215/2021/).

Data usage notice:

If you use any of these results, please acknowledge the work of the people involved in producing them. Acknowledgements should have language similar to the below that contained informations related to MAR. In order to document MAR scientific impact and enable ongoing support of the model, users are likely encouraged to contact C. Kittel and C. Agosta to add their works in the list of MAR-related publications. 

"We thank the MAR team which make available the model outputs, as well agencies (F.R.S - FNRS, CÉCI, and the Walloon Region) that provided computational resources for MAR simulations."

MARv3.10 以ERA-Interim再分析资料作为强迫场，包含1981–2018年南极冰盖范围内的地表质量平衡（Surface Mass Balance, SMB）及其各分量的逐月值（单位：kg m⁻² month⁻¹），以及（近）地表气温（单位：℃）。本数据集使用了MAR模拟所用的网格文件。

请注意：NETCDF格式文件中，SMB及其分量的单位元数据存在错误，实际数值单位应为kg m⁻² month⁻¹，而非标注的kg m⁻² day⁻¹。

若您需要MAR的其他变量或不同输出频率的资料，请致信[e-mail]，我们将竭诚为您提供协助。如需用于分析本文结果、绘制配图的自研脚本，我们也乐意分享。若您使用本MAR输出数据，请引用上述论文。需要说明的是，由于采用更新版本模型（MARv3.11）与强迫场（ERA5）的新版输出已发表（详见Kittel等人2021年的研究：https://tc.copernicus.org/articles/15/1215/2021/），本套输出现已被视为不再推荐使用的废弃版本。

## 数据使用须知
若您使用本套研究结果，请对参与数据制作的团队及个人致以致谢。致谢措辞可参考以下示例，需包含与MAR相关的信息。为统计MAR的科学影响力并持续支持该模型的研发，我们鼓励用户联系C. Kittel与C. Agosta，将其相关研究添加至MAR关联出版物列表中。

> 我们感谢MAR团队提供模型输出，同时感谢F.R.S - FNRS、CÉCI以及瓦隆大区（Walloon Region）为MAR模拟提供计算资源。
