Amundsen Sea MAR simulations forced by ERAinterim

<p><strong>MAR simulations produced by Marion Donat-Magnin at IGE, Grenoble, France.</strong></p> <p><br> This simulation is evaluated in the following article:</p> <p>Donat-Magnin, M., Jourdain, N. C., Gall&eacute;e, H., Amory, C., Kittel, C., Fettweis, X., Wille, J. D., Favier, V., Drira, A., and Agosta, C. (2020). Interannual variability of summer surface mass balance and surface melting in the Amundsen sector, West Antarctica, The Cryosphere, 14, 229&ndash;249, <a href="https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-14-229-2020">https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-14-229-2020</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><br> Here are provided the monthly means over 1979-2017. Daily outputs available on demand.<br> <br> See netcdf metadata for more information. Note that what is called runoff in the outputs is not actually a runoff (into the ocean) but more the net production of liquid water at the surface (which can either form ponds or flow into the ocean).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Monthly files provided on MAR grid (see MAR_grid10km.nc). We also provide climatological (1979-2017 average) surface mass balance (SMB), surface melt rates and net liquid water production (&quot;runoff&quot;) on a standard 8km WGS84&nbsp;stereographic grid (see files ending as mean_polar_stereo.nc).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The following variables are provided:</p> <ul> <li>CC Cloud Cover</li> <li>LHF Latent Heat Flux</li> <li>LWD Long&nbsp; Wave Downward</li> <li>LWU Long&nbsp; Wave Upward</li> <li>QQp Specific Humidity (pressure levels)</li> <li>QQz Specific Humidity (height levels)</li> <li>RH Relative Humidity</li> <li>SHF Sensible Heat Flux</li> <li>SIC Sea ice cover</li> <li>SP Surface Pressure</li> <li>ST Surface Temperature</li> <li>SWD Short Wave Downward</li> <li>SWU Short Wave Upward</li> <li>TI1 Ice/Snow Temperature (snow-layer levels)</li> <li>TTz Temperature (height levels)</li> <li>UUp x-Wind Speed component (pressure levels)</li> <li>UUz x-Wind Speed component (height levels)</li> <li>VVp y-Wind Speed component (pressure levels)</li> <li>VVz y-Wind Speed component (height levels)</li> <li>UVp Horizontal Wind Speed (pressure levels)</li> <li>UVz Horizontal Wind Speed (height levels)</li> <li>ZZp Geopotential Height (pressure levels)</li> <li>mlt Surface melt rate</li> <li>rfz Refreezing rate</li> <li>rnf Rainfall</li> <li>rof Runoff (i.e. net production of surface liquid water)</li> <li>sbl Sublimation</li> <li>smb Surface Mass Balance</li> <li>snf Snowfall</li> </ul>
