WRF output from Aas et al. 2016: "The climatic mass balance of Svalbard glaciers: a 10-year simulation with a coupled atmosphere-glacier mass balance model"

Contact: Kjetil Aas, k.s.aas@geo.uio.no

Notes:
- The 10-year simulation was split up into 10 simulations of 366 days (except last year which includes two more months. These was not been included in the published analysis).
- One overlapping (identical) time step is included in both the end of one simulation year, and in the beginning of the next simulation year (i.e. write_hist_at_0h_rst flag turned on in namelist).
- Hourly surface data at 3km resolution are found in wrfout_d02*.
- Static data (lat, long, surface elevation, land cover etc.) are not included in wrfout*, but can be found in the restart files (wrfrst*).

Climatic mass balance is included as an accumulated value ("TOTALMBACC"), but can also be calculated from hourly output:
CMB=SOLID_PRECIP*+CMB_AC_REFSMASS+CMB_AC_SUIMASS+CMB_AC_DEPMASS-CMB_AC_MELTMASS-CMB_AC_SUBMELT_INT-CMB_AC_SUBMASS+CMB_AC_DWLIQ

*SOLID_PRECIP must be calculated from SNOWNC, which gives the accumulated solid precipitation from the beginning of the simulation. CMB_AC* gives accumulated CMB fluxes from previous output.
