Flow velocity and along-flow stress products for Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctica, modelled before and after the calving event of Iceberg A68 in July 2017

Velocity and along-flow stress states were modelled for Larsen C ice shelf, before and after the calving of iceberg A68 in July 2017. The archive contains two sets of model outputs: i) flow velocity before and after calving, and the difference between these periods, and ii) along-flow stress before and calving, and the difference between these periods. The models are produced with the BISICLES ice sheet model. Additionally to high-resolution geo-referenced model outputs, a low-resolution image of each is provided for reference. The maps were produced by Dr Stephen Cornford, Swansea University.



The data is part of the NERC RACE project, NE/R012334/1.
