Add AIS calving calibration regions - #300
Conversation
|
This PR is sort of a companion to #299. It defines regions over which calving calibration can be evaluated in MALI. The existing ice-shelf regions were to granular and some were not extended far enough. Existing ISMIP and IMBIE regions were not granular enough. So this set of features is specific to the purpose of evaluating calving in MALI and defining a level of granularity over which we want calving parameter to be constant. @xylar , I made them all have a certain naming convention and gave them a tag. Feel free to suggest a different way of handling their organization (e.g. putting them in their own high level directory instead of 'landice'). Here are the aggregated regions: And here are the extended EA regions: I have a set of ad hoc scripts to do the aggregation and extension in a separate branch on my fork at https://github.com/matthewhoffman/geometric_features/tree/calv-calib-generation-tools. I didn't want to pollute this repo by including them, but I want to keep the around for potential tweaks to these regions. Keeping them perpetually in that branch on my fork seems sufficient for that. |
…tion This commit adds new landice regions representing extended ocean boundaries for Antarctic ice shelves. These regions are designed for calving calibration in MPAS-Albany Land Ice simulations. Each region combines constituent ice shelf regions with extended ocean boundaries. Regions added: - ice_shelf_extended_abbot_cosgrove_venable - ice_shelf_extended_amery - ice_shelf_extended_bellinghausen_north - ice_shelf_extended_brunt_stancomb - ice_shelf_extended_dibble - ice_shelf_extended_dotson_crosson - ice_shelf_extended_dronning_maud_land - ice_shelf_extended_eastern_weddell - ice_shelf_extended_fimbulisen - ice_shelf_extended_fris - ice_shelf_extended_george_v_oates_coast - ice_shelf_extended_getz - ice_shelf_extended_ingrid_christensen_coast - ice_shelf_extended_larsen_c - ice_shelf_extended_larsen_north - ice_shelf_extended_larsen_south - ice_shelf_extended_marie_byrd_land - ice_shelf_extended_moscow_university - ice_shelf_extended_ninnis_mertz_cook - ice_shelf_extended_pine_island - ice_shelf_extended_princess_astrid_coast - ice_shelf_extended_ross - ice_shelf_extended_shackleton - ice_shelf_extended_stange_ferrigno - ice_shelf_extended_thwaites - ice_shelf_extended_totten - ice_shelf_extended_vincennes - ice_shelf_extended_wilkes_land All regions are tagged with 'ais_ice_shelf_calving_calibration' for easy retrieval and use in Antarctic ice sheet modeling workflows.

@matthewhoffman, this is fine. If you want, you could define a more "formal" aggregator with a date stamp like we do for ocean and sea-ice regions: |

If you can include the creation script for provenance, that's always good: Also, I am listed as the author of the regions. Maybe it should be you. |


This merge introduces 28 landice regions for Antarctica that divide the ice sheet into regions appropriate for calibrating and analyzing MALI calving behavior. The regions originated from the existing iceshelf/regions but modified them in a few ways:
Regions are given names
geometric_data/landice/region/ice_shelf_extended_*. They are also give the tagais_ice_shelf_calving_calibration.
