title: CLM/CTSM glacier input datasets used for study on evaluation variable-resolution CESM2 in High-Mountain Asia

description: <strong>General Info</strong> This data archive contains the updated glacier-cover and glacier regions for the Community Land Model version 5 (CLM5)/Community Terrestrial Systems Model (CTSM). The updated glacier-cover and glacier regions are used for a study on the evaluation of variable-resolution (VR) CESM2 in High Mountain Asia (https://tc.copernicus.org/preprints/tc-2022-256/). The data archive also contains the model scripts and input files that have been used to create the glacier-cover dataset. The global glacier outlines used for the glacier-cover dataset were retrieved from the Randolph Glacier Inventory version 6 (RGI-Consortium, 2017). The vector data for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets were retrieved from the masks of Bedmachine version 4 (Morlighem et al., 2017, 2021) and version 2 (Morlighem et al., 2020; Morlighem, 2020), respectively. <strong>Contact</strong> René Wijngaard (r.r.wijngaard.uu@gmail.com / r.r.wijngaard@uu.nl) <strong>Dataset Contents </strong> <pre><code>mksrf_glacier_3x3min_simyr2000.c210708.nc</code></pre> The updated glacier-cover dataset, encompassing three 3-minute datasets: 1) fractional land ice coverage, including both glaciers and ice sheets (PCT_GLACIER), 2) distributions of areal glacier coverage by elevation (PCT_GLC_GIC), and 3) distributions of areal ice-sheet coverage by elevation (PCT_GLC_ICESHEET). <pre><code>mksrf_GlacierRegion_10x10min_nomask_c200813.nc</code></pre> The updated glacier regions, encompassing five different glacier regions (0 - Other regions, 1 - Inside standard CISM grid but outside Greenland itself, 2 - Greenland, 3 - Antarctica, and 4 - High Mountain Asia (new)), used to set the ice melt and runoff behaviour in CLM5/CTSM (more detailed information can be found in the CLM5 Documentation, https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/) <pre><code>model_scripts.tar</code></pre> Model scripts used for creating the glacier-cover dataset. A README file is included that lists instructions on how to make the glacier-cover dataset. <pre><code>glacier_final.tar</code></pre> Input files used to create the glacier-cover dataset. The following files are included: a global 30-arcsec merged BedMachine/GMTED2010 elevation dataset (gmted_bedmachine_stitched.nc) and land-sea mask (gmted2010_modis-rawdata-lonshift.nc), Antarctica land mask (BedMachineAntarcticaRotate2RotateBack_2020-07-15_v02_lonshift.map_TO_30arcsec.nc), Greenland land mask (BedMachineGreenland-2021-04-20.map_TO_30arcsec.nc), and 30-arcsec datasets encompassing glacier-cover (30arcsec_00_rgi60_World.nc) and ice-sheet cover (30arcsec_00_BM_World.nc).
