GMD Iceberg 2023: Input and Scripts for AWI-ESM Iceberg Simulations

Input and forcing files to reproduce simulations with the iceberg-extended Alfred Wegener Institute Earth System Model (AWI-ESM). The dataset includes model dimensions, coordinates, scaling factors, ice sheet model output, restart files, and runscripts. It was created by Lars Ackermann of the Alfred Wegener Institute to accompany a 2023 preprint publication.

Use Cases

• Reproduce published iceberg-climate simulations based on the provided runscripts and config files.
• Analyze iceberg trajectories and melt patterns based on the provided model coordinates and scaling factors.
• Initialize new iceberg simulations using the provided ice sheet model output and basins.
• Create visualizations of model results using the derived plotting scripts.

Strengths

• Includes restart files from a longer pre-industrial spinup for model initialization.
• Provides runscripts and config files intended to fully recreate the published simulations.
• Associated with a peer-reviewed preprint publication, providing scientific context.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
