[MASK]: PISM

[aaschwanden]

Overview

• Product name and version: Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM)
• Purpose of your product: mass balance
• Geographic region: Greenland, Antarctica
• Year(s) covered by product: N/A

Upstream

[For each upstream mask product you used, copy and repeat this section. Or remove if no upstream mask]

• What upstream mask product did you use? [Example: reference, DOI, or product name and version]

PISM does not use upstream masks. Internally, a mask is computed to distinguish land ice, ocean, land, and floating ice. This mask is computed at each time step. For accurate accounting, PISM reports scalar and map-plane field such as ice mass, surface mass balance and grounding line flux. This allows the user to post process PISM simulations any way they want using their preferred masks.

• Reason for using this mask
  This is best way to ensure conservation of mass within the model.

• If you modified the upstream mask, for example, to define and split ‘main’ vs. ‘peripheral’, how and why?
  N/A

• Effort required by you if upstream product changed (to a community standard)
  N/A

• If you used internal basins, which product and why?
  N/A

• If you subset to a geographical region (Greenland, Antarctica, sub-region, peripheral, individual glacier), how and why
  N/A

• Type: vector, raster
  N/A

• Resolution if raster:
  N/A

• Projection information: [Example: WKT string, proj4 string, EPSG code, or other]
  N/A

• Year or years of input product(s):
  N/A

Internal

[Remove this section if no internal mask for your product]

• All masks have boundaries. How, and why did you define yours?
  The modeling domain is chosen by the user.

• If your product includes distinction between main and peripheral ice sheet, how did you define this? If possible, cite source, equation, pseudo-code, or text description)
  PISM does not distinguish between main ice sheet and periphery.

• Effort required if your internal product changed (to a community standard)
  N/A

• If you used internal basins, how did you define them, or which product and why?
  N/A

• Geographical region (Greenland, Antarctica, sub-region, peripheral, individual glacier)

• Type: vector, raster

• Resolution if raster:

• Projection information: [Example: WKT string, proj4 string, EPSG code, or other]

Downstream

Remove this section if no downstream output mask from your product

• If your downstream output is different than internal, describe how and why.
