May 10 2011. ISSM Meeting.

Agenda:

• Eric Rignot, present ISSM framework, put into context.
• Goals and strategy
  • long term
  • this year
• ISSM expansion:
  • GIA
  • Planetary
  • Rifting?
  • SeaRISE?
• Distribution of roles
  • Nicole: Ice/Ocean with Eric L. Calving face melting parameterization using Yun's results + Michael's runs on Antarctica.
  • Behnaz: basal hydrology.
  • Helene: thermal improvements? 2D/3D coupling?
  • Mathieu: dataset assimilation?
  • Eric: ice/ocean interaction. IceBridge dataset campaign with respect to OUR needs.
  • Michael: improve transient melting rates agreement with InSAR generated melting rates, over Antarctica. Target Antarctica mainly and show convergence of Ecco with remote sensing estimates.
  • Daria: basal drag transient law, large scale capable.
  • Ala: laser altimetry-> in house thickness (ice shelves) and elevation (ice sheets) changes. validation of ISSM through thickness changes.
• ISSM tutorial:
  • User guide
  • Developers's guide

Bullet points:

-Tom Newmann currently carrying out temperature measurements. If we have a thermal-cryowarming of the ice sheet model, we can contact him and drive some of his requirements.
