Public Devon Mass Balance Dataset

Annual (1980-2006) high resolution (1km by 1km) glacier model output for the Devon Island Ice Cap is now available for download.  The dataset contains annual model output of several key glaciological variables ranging from net mass balance to melt onset and freeze up dates.  The dataset will be extended as regional climate data comes available. See the dataset documentation for further details.
