Distributed surface mass balance modeling over the West Antarctic ice sheet using SNOWPACK and Alpine3D

Instructions

1. Clone repository into a high performance compute environment, i.e. scratch.

git clone https://github.com/EricKeenan/SNOWPACK_WAIS.git

2. Compile and install MeteoIO, SNOWPACK, and Alpine-3D by following the directions in doc/compile_SNOWPACK.md.

3. Alpine-3D input

If input files (e.g. atmospheric forcing, terrain models, and initial snow properties) already exist: Copy input into the compute environment by navigating into the setup directory and execute

bash copy_input.sh

Else: Create input files by following the directions in doc/input_files.md

4. Launch Alpine-3D

Configure slurm settings and set restart flag to Y or N in job.sbatch. Make sure you are not in a conda environment.

conda deactivate
sbatch job.sbatch

5. Analyze Alpine-3D simulations by running the notebooks under analysis/ on your machine of choice or directly in the cloud.
