  • Paper Draft

    This is the initial draft of the paper where the snowBedFoam 1.0. results are tested against Terrestrial Laser Scan (TLS) measurements of snow dynamics on Arctic sea ice (MOSAiC expedition). It highlights the numerical limitations of our model as well as the measurement uncertainties, which may occur in such extreme environments.

  • MOSAiC Met City preliminary (Level 2) wind data

    Extract from the preliminary MOSAiC atmospheric data (Level 2) for the time period 6th to 13th of November, 2019. This data was used to set up the fluid forcing parameters in the snowBedFoam simulations on MOSAiC sea ice. It is being published in this repository with the kind permission from Matthew Shupe and his team. The final processed and quality controlled version of this dataset (Level 3) has not been published yet. A complete reference will be added in this description once it is released.

  • Snowdrift measurements around Neumayer Station III

    Files containing the topographical data barometrically measured in June 2009 around the German Antarctic Research station Neumayer III. Those measurements are compared to the snowBedFoam simulations to assess the ability of the model to reproduce real snow distribution observations.

  • Neumayer III simulations

    Snow distribution results around Neumayer Station III obtained for the sensitivity analysis and comparison to measurements. The file contains several sub-folders, namely: -COMP: simulation output for the comparison to measurements; -FLOW: simulation output for the study of wind forcing impact; -simulation_exampleCase: example case of a snowBedFoam simulation with the reference Neumayer Station mesh; -SNOW: simulation output for the study of snow properties impact; -STRUCT: simulation output for the study of structure properties impact.
