These ice velocities (in m/yr) represent the (hypothetical) distribution of depth-averaged ice velocities that would keep the Antarctic ice sheet in its present shape (i.e. surface topography and thickness), under the influence of a prescribed accumulation distribution. The present fluxes were computed using computer code BalanceV2 (by Warner) (outlined in Budd and Warner 1996, and detailed in Fricker, Warner and Allison 2000), using the surface accumulation dataset of Vaughan et al (1999), the ice sheet surface elevation dataset distributed by BEDMAP (attributed to Liu et al 1999), and the ice sheet thickness compilation distributed by the BEDMAP consortium (Lythe et al 2001). {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-180.0, -90.0], [180.0, -90.0], [180.0, -65.0], [-180.0, -65.0], [-180.0, -90.0]]]} -180.0 180.0 -90.0 -65.0 ACE/CRC AMD AMD/AU BALANCE VELOCITIES CEOS CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA Computer > Computer DRAINAGE BASIN EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > GLACIERS/ICE SHEETS > ICE SHEETS EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > SNOW/ICE > ICE MOTION EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > SNOW/ICE > ICE VELOCITY GEOGRAPHIC REGION > POLAR ICE SHEET MASS BALANCE MODELS GET DATA documentDigital BEDMAP - Follow links to download gridded datasets.
