The reason is that I am planning to release the official version 3.0 very soon. It will essentially be based on SICOPOLIS as it stands now, that is, the version with which all runs for the SeaRISE project (see Bindschadler and 27 others, J. Glaciol. 59(214), 195-224, 2013) were done. Of course, SICOPOLIS will be developed continuously beyond that point. For the current academic year (until March 2014), an improved treatment of the ice-sheet/ice-shelf transition, a more sophisticated parameterisation of ice-shelf basal melting and the implementation of an enthalpy scheme (as an alternative for the current treatment of polythermal ice via front tracking) are on the agenda. Please stay tuned.

On that occasion, let me thank you all for your contributions, help, support and interest. As I wrote before, SICOPOLIS will be developed continuously beyond that point. So there will be a developmental version 3.1-dev very soon in order to head on towards new frontiers... ;-) Best regards, Ralf -- Dr. Ralf Greve Professor, Glacier and Ice Sheet Research Institute of Low Temperature Science Hokkaido University Kita-19, Nishi-8, Kita-ku Sapporo 060-0819, Japan Phone: (+81)-(0)11-706-6891 greve at lowtem.hokudai.ac.jp http://wwwice.lowtem.hokudai.ac.jp/~greve/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From greve at lowtem.hokudai.ac.jp Mon May 27 01:51:22 2013 From: greve at lowtem.hokudai.ac.jp (Ralf Greve) Date: Mon, 27 May 2013 08:51:22 +0900 Subject: [SICOPOLIS:20] Format change of time-slice output? Message-ID: <51A29FFA.9070304@lowtem.hokudai.ac.jp> Dear colleagues, currently, SICOPOLIS writes 2-d arrays (like the surface topography zs) with index order zs(j,i) into the time-slice output files *.nc (netCDF) and *.erg (native binary). Similar for 3-d arrays, e.g., the temperature in cold ice temp_c(kc,j,i). This is how the arrays are arranged in SICOPOLIS itself, and it is advantageous for computational speed compared to the order zs(i,j) because of the particular way such arrays are stored by Fortran. However, a problem is that viewers like ncview expect arrays in the more natural form zs(i,j). So, unless the output data are post-processed (as done by SICOGRAPH), plots always appear mirrored. I am therefore considering to change the output format to zs(i,j), temp_c(i,j,kc) etc. On that occasion, I would also change the output time unit from seconds to years in order to get more intuitive data (e.g., velocities in m/a rather than m/s). The downside of this would of course be that the new output files are not compatible with the old ones any more. So I'd like to ask you (in particular the active SICOPOLIS users) whether you would rather prefer to keep the output format as it is now. My preference would be to go on with the change, but if there are many objections, I will leave it. If you object changing the format, can you please let me know by the end of the week? If I don't hear from you on the matter, I'll assume that the change is fine for you.

Since they were all in favour, I'll move on and implement it. Actually, I already did some tests, and it is indeed much nicer with the new format to look into netCDF output with ncview.
