• Choose the type of boundary condition you want to use. Look at the available data below, and at the ice-sheet gallery page.
  • Do not forget to document what you have chosen!
• blahblah
• After processing the boundary condition data, send a copy the BC data as seen by your model to Jean-Yves Peterschmitt: netCDF file and plot

The input data for the boundary conditions is available in netCDF files provided by Dick Peltier and Lev Tarasov. You will find below some technical details about the data, and the related publications to cite

The data files may change a bit (rename or standardize the data, etc…) and you will find the change list below

• nb_lat, nb_lon = 1080, 2160 (regular 10 minutes intervals)
• latitude_values = [-89.91667175, -89.75, -89.58334351, … 89.58333588, 89.75 , 89.91666412]
• longitude_values = [0., 0.16666667, 0.33333334, … 359.5, 359.66668701, 359.83334351]
• NO time axis (1 time step per file)

• 48 time steps in 48 files, from 0k to 26k
• file names = I6_C.VM5a_10min.<time_slice>.nc
  with <time_slice> in [0, 0.5, 1, …, 20, 20.5, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26]
