We are happy to announce that the reference publication for the COupled Snowpack and Ice surface energy and mass balance model in PYthon (COSIPY) has just been published in Geoscientific Model Development.
This new release of COSIPY covers a series of improvements and fixes, inlcuding: New densification parameterisations (now available: Boone, Vionnet, emprical, constant) Bugfix in radiation model (Wohlfahrt et al, 2016) Bugfixes in ‘wrf2cosipy’ utility New utility to plot profiles Improvements and fixes to ‘create static file’ utility Improvements and fixes to ‘aws2cosipy’ utility Improved input …
The ‘COupled Snowpack and Ice surface energy and mass balance model in PYthon’ COSIPY solves the energy balance at the surface and is coupled to an adaptive vertical multi-layer subsurface module. Release v1.2 includes several major improvements: Changes that affect the output: Improved surface temperature parameterization now including the Monin-Obukhov stability correction (can be selected …
In a Methods Article in Frontiers in Earth Science, the application of OSARIS to investigate cryospheric changes in a high mountain environment in the Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan, is demonstrated. Besides backgrounds on concept, processing scheme, and modules, the paper includes: Examples of detailed coherence time series and their visualization using OSARIS’ box plot tool, Example …
The Open Global Glacier Model (OGGM) team has recently published an article in Geoscientific Model Development, demonstrating the capabilities of the tool. OGGM version 1.1.1 includes several minor enhancements, including improved handling of merged glaciers, the option to add custom mass balance data, and ALOS World 3D 30m as an alternative DEM.
With the ‘Open Global Glacier Model‘ a comprehensive modelling suite for physiographic glacier characteristics and medium to long term glacier changes joins our community. Based on a modular and highly automatized workflow realized in Python, OGGM provides routines for investigating a variety of glaciological parameters, including flowlines, altitude-area distributions, mass balance, and ice thickness.
A new tutorial is available, demonstrating how to create a new OSARIS project from scratch. It aims to enable users with few experience in Sentinel-1 data, interferometric processing, Linux command line, etc., to work with the software and thus contains a lot of details. To start the tutorial, you will only need a working installation …
After more than half a year of development, the new version represents a major step forward for the ‘Open Source SAR Investigation System’. Further automation substantially reduced manual configuration efforts, output data is now consistently stored as analysis-ready geocoded stacks, and processing efficiency was further increased. New features include: Automatic merging of Sentinel-1 swaths Automatic …
This new release features three new modules to generate a visual summary of processing results in PDF format, to crop grid files to given coordinates, and to calculate overview statistics for grid files. In addition, the modules directory now includes a template to create new modules. For details on additions, changes and fixed bugs, please …
