NOTE: This archive contains files in the NetCDF format which is an open and portable file format with all the necessary metadata (list of variables, dimensions, units of the variables...) embedded inside the NetCDF file. The user of this archive is assumed to be comfortable with this file format and should seek the relevant information inside the NetCDF files. Using the open source NetCDF operators, this metadata can be accessed by simply typing:

  ncdump -h name_of_netcdf_file.nc

The archive is structured around the figures and tables of the research article (see the research article and its Supporting Information for additional context). In some cases, the same NetCDF file contains the information for multiple figures (hence the grouping below). Figure/Table numbers preceded by the letter "S" refer to a figure/table of the Supporting Information.

FIGURE 2

The figure is based on the geometry of the experiments described in section "Methods" of the research article.
Each experiment is associated with a prefix: 

fig02_exp2011
fig02_exp2022
fig02_exp2022noberg
fig02_exp2022nofasti
fig02_exp2011fastI
fig02_exp2011_cold
fig02_exp2022_cold
fig02_exp2022noberg_cold
fig02_exp2022nofasti_cold

each including a ROMS *grid file* (suffix "_grid_model.nc") and a ROMS *initial condition* (suffix "_initial_condition_model.nc"). The grid file contains all the critical information about the experiment's geometry (latitude, longitude, sea floor depth, ice shelf draft...). The initial condition file contains additional information about the vertical stretching of the model setup as well as the model fields of 1 Jan. (2010 or 2014 depending on the experiment) interpolated along ROMS' topography-following levels. These ROMS input files can be combined with the model configuration archived at:

https://doi.org/10.25773/bt54-sj65

to re-create the model experiments (this particular archive contains the code and all the necessary meteorological forcings and lateral boundary conditions). See the research article for additional information and context.
