ICE
A NETCDF File Format for Icesheet Grids


ICE is a data directory which contains examples of ICE files, which define a NETCDF file format for icesheet grids.

Sample Files:

CUBE86 subdivides the unit cube, using 39 vertices to form 86 tetrahedra. There are 72 boundary triangles.

CYL248 is a cylinder defined by 92 vertices. The volume is subdivided into 248 tetrahedra which have 154 boundary triangles.

HEXAHEXA_2x2x2 subdivides the unit cube into a 2x2x2 mesh of 8 subcubes or "hexahedra", using 27 vertices, and 24 boundary quadrilaterals.

PART is a large 3D object including 28,694 vertices, 14,890 triangles, 150,779 tetrahedrons, 50 corners, 1905 edges and 1905 ridges.
