Land-ice Framework

ais_observations

The landice framework module compass/landice/ais_observations.py contains observational data for various Antarctic basins. These are based on the ISMIP6 basin definitions, but it need not be limited to those. The basins do not need to be mutually exclusive, so more can be added as needed.

extrapolate

The landice framework module compass/landice/extrapolate.py provides a function for extrapolating variables into undefined regions. It is copied from a similar script in MPAS-Tools.

icshelf_melt

The landice framework module compass/landice/iceshelf_melt.py provides functionality related to ice-shelf basal melting. Currently, there is a single function calc_mean_TF that calculated the mean thermal forcing along the ice-shelf draft in a domain for a given geometry file and thermal forcing file.
