GRISLI-LSCE: Antarctic Ice Sheet Model Experiments for ISMIP6

A contribution of ice sheet model experiments for Antarctica to the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for CMIP6 (ISMIP6). The dataset was produced by the GRISLI-LSCE team, led by Aurélien Quiquet at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. It follows the experimental protocol defined by Nowicki et al. (2020) for generating sea-level projections.

Use Cases

• Projecting Antarctic ice sheet contributions to sea-level rise based on the ISMIP6 experimental protocol.
• Comparing ice sheet model outputs from different modeling groups participating in ISMIP6.
• Validating and calibrating the GRISLI ice sheet model's performance for Antarctic simulations.
• Analyzing the sensitivity of Antarctic ice sheet evolution to different climate forcing scenarios.

Strengths

• Follows a standardized, peer-reviewed experimental protocol for model intercomparison (ISMIP6).
• Produced by a recognized research institution (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique).

Limitations

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