MOSAiC forcing from Xiaochun Wang

[eclare108213]

Xiaochun Wang has offered to provide the MOSAiC forcing that he has used for testing Icepack.

In this issue we can discuss the steps needed to access the forcing data and update the code and scripts to be able to use it.

Currently the MOSAiC forcing my group used is organized in two periods (Nov. 2019 to May 2020, and June -July 2020) since there is a gap in radiation observation. Please let me know what I should do.

I would like to loop @davidclemenssewall into this.

I am trying to run Icepack with MOSAiC forcing as well, I would like to be kept in the loop.

Hi All,

So sorry that it has taken me this long to get to this (started a new job, field campaign, vacation, etc). Xiaochun and Giulia, I'm thrilled that you're working on using MOSAiC data for Icepack development. There is actually a cross-cutting working group, the MOSAiC Model Forcing Datasets Working Group (MMFD) within the MOSAiC Consortium that is dedicated to developing merged datasets for model development. You and your team members would be more than welcome to join. We hold a monthly virtual meetings (the next is Oct. 16 at 14:30 UTC) and have both a public and a private github repo for sharing the code 'recipes' to produce merged datasets. Speaking of which, we published a first version of gap-filled MOSAiC datasets (which include data in the May-June gap from ASFS observations) last spring: https://arcticdata.io/catalog/view/doi%3A10.18739%2FA2GX44W6J. The datasets are netCDF in the MDF format, which came out of the YOPPSiteMIP project. If you would like to get involved with MMFD please email me at [email protected].

On a related note, I actually have a branch of Icepack that is set up to ingest MDF-formatted forcing data. There are a few things that I had been hoping to add to it still, hence why I hadn't submitted a PR. But it is usable as is and so I will plan to go ahead and submit a PR shortly so others can make use of it.

Cheers,
David

Just a quick follow-up here. I've opened a draft PR for the MOSAiC forcing here: #500

HI, I have prepared the MOSAiC forcing file a while ago and not sure how to upload it to github. Xiaochun
