Data.Sicopolis.model {stilt}

SICOPOLIS model ensemble output

Description

Ice mass loss output from a 5-parameter ensemble of SICOPOLIS ice sheet model

Usage

data(Data.Sicopolis.model)

Format

The format is a list containing five elements

$t

661-element time vector for model output: (1840, 1841, ..., 2500)

$tunits

Time units = "Year"

$out

[1:661, 1:100] matrix of Greenland Ice Sheet mass anomaly with respect to year 2003. [row, col] = [time index, parameter index]. The vector of parameter values for columns of $out is in the $par element of Data.Sicopolis.par.

$outname

Output name = "GIS Mass Anomaly wrt 2003"

$outunits

Output units "Gt"

Details

The ensemble was generated by Patrick Applegate. The ensemble varies five important ice sheet model parameters: Flow Enhancement Factor, Basal Sliding Factor, Geothermal Heat Flux, Snow PDD Factor, and Ice PDD Factor

Examples

# Fit an emulator to the SICOPOLIS ensemble data
data(Data.Sicopolis.par)

## Not run: emulator(Data.Sicopolis.par, Data.Sicopolis.model, c(FALSE, FALSE,
FALSE, FALSE, FALSE), FALSE, 200000, 20000)
## End(Not run)
