Statement

Methodology:

The processing of the data is described by Arthern et al. (2015) and Arthern and Williams (2017) (see references section). Inverse methods were used to find the basal drag and ice viscosity parameters that allow the model to agree best with satellite observations. Once the ice flow parameters have been obtained, the modelled ice flow within the ice sheet can be evaluated and used to start temporally evolving simulations for a variety of different parameter choices, as described by Arthern and Williams (2017).

Data collection:

Data processing and modelling was done using MATLAB (Version 8).

The contributing datasets used to constrain the model are listed by Arthern et al (2015) and Arthern and Williams (2017). Multidecadal model simulations span up to 100 years of simulation time.

Data quality:

The algorithm used was evaluated on idealised test cases as described by Arthern and Gudmundsson (2010). Arthern et al (2015) shows maps of discrepancy between model velocity and satellite derived velocity, and histograms of the differences between model elevation changes and elevation changes derived using satellite altimetry. For the temporally evolving simulations two datasets are included; one as originally computed and one with accumulation rates corrected for a processing error.
