HUMP
Reading Icesheet Data

HUMP is a Python routine which reads a file describing the parameters of an icesheet problem, generates the corresponding data, and writes that data to a NETCDF file for input to a solver.

The particular problem generated by the "config" file presented here is a simplistic, artificial test case of a sinusoidal "hump" of ice.

Note that HUMP requires the numpy module, which is available from http://numpy.scipy.org .

HUMP is available in a Python version.

Related Data and Programs:

CDL, a data directory of examples of CDL files, a text version of NETCDF files created by the NCDUMP program;

ICE, a data directory of examples of ICE files, which store icesheet grid datasets in the NETCDF format.

NETCDF a data directory which contains examples of NETCDF files, a format for the interchange of scientific data.

NETCDF_GLIMMER a data directory which contains examples of GLIMMER data from Oak Ridge, stored as NETCDF files.

NETCDF_MPAS a data directory which contains examples of MPAS grid data stored as NETCDF files.

Source Code:

• hump.py, the Python script that reads the config file, generates the data, and writes a NETCDF file.
• hump.PP.config, a file that defines the data that is to be generated.
• hump.nc, a NETCDF file that contains the problem data generated by the script.
