PMIP4 ICE-6G-C ice-sheet data
Grid
- 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)
Time steps and data files
- 48 time steps in 48 files, from 0k to 26k BP : data every 500 years from 0k to 21k BP, then every 1000 years till 26k BP
- 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] - all the variables for the same time step are in the same file
Variables
- Topo: Topography (Point-value altitude), meters
- on continents: surface altitude (including grounded ice sheet)
- on ice-free oceans, and where there is floating ice (ice shelves): bathymetry
- Orog: Orography (Point-value surface altitude), meters
- on continents: altitude (including grounded ice sheet)
- on ice-free oceans: 0.0 (zero)
- on ice-shelves: surface altitude
- sftlf: Point-value Landmask, %
- values are
0
(not land) or100
(land) - does not include floating ice
- sftgif: Point-value Icemask, %
- values are
0
(not ice) or100
(ice) - floating ice is included
Notes:
- Computing the
sftlf-sftgif
difference yields:- 100: where there is land without ice
- -100: where there is floating ice-sheet
- 0: elsewhere

You will find below a table with all the available data files, and their md5sum checksum (if you want to check that you download was OK, you can just type md5sum file.nc
and compare the result to what is displayed in the table).
If you want to download a file, click on the ice_sheet download link and then on the file you need. The files are currently protected by a password. Get in touch with Jean-Yves Peterschmitt if you need to access them.
Groups running the lgm experiment have to use the I6_C.VM5a_10min.sftlf.21_CASPIAN.nc
file, where the Caspian sea has been set to the modern Caspian sea in the land-sea mask variable.
The files for the entire deglaciation have not been modified accordingly yet.
