Description

Various components of mass balance of Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves, 1994-2016 (as detailed in Adusumilli et al. 2018, Geophysical Research Letters). Included fields are: 1) Basal mass balance, including time-variable basal melt rates over Larsen C and northern Larsen D ice shelves. 2) Surface mass balance (downsampled from RACMO2.3p2, 5.5 km Antarctic Peninsula version) 3) Ice advection and divergence 4) Net mass balance
