README for data from the paper "Greenland Ice Sheet Elevation Change: Direct Observation of Process and Attribution at Summit" Contact: Bob Hawley, Dartmouth. robert.l.hawley@dartmouth.edu There are 4 datasets in this directory, Steps to process/produce each dataset are outlined in the supplementary material of the above-named paper. 1) Surface elevation time series from GPS transect CSV file; columns: 1 Julian date 2 Latitude 3 Longitude 4 Elevation 5 Estimated error 2) Strain network stake locations from 2014 and 2017 Text files for each stake occupation in each year, columns described in each text file. 3) Accumulation measurements from 121 stakes along GPS transect NetCDF file, varaibles used in our analysis are 'average_accum', 'average_error' and 'time' 4) Community Firn Model results- total compaction time series. CFM_CTL_KM_330m.csv contains the cumulative firn-compaction time series from four CFM runs using the Kuipers Munneke and others (2015) firn-densification equations. The four runs were the same except for the prescribed surface density, which is listed in the first row (in kg/m3). The first column is the time. Columns 2 through 5 are the cumulative firn compaction. Differencing the time series yields the compaction predicted for each month. The compaction is calculated by differencing the modeled firn-column thickness before and after densification in the model.
