[MITgcm-support] Modern Earth Land Distribution

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

did someone respond? yes of course you can use it. MITgcm is open source.
but which specific MITgcm 1-deg bathymetry are you thinking about?
there is the bathymetry file used by the ECCO V4r4 solution:
https://ecco-group.org/products-ECCO-V4r4.htm
https://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/drive/files/Version4/Release4/input_init/bathy_eccollc_90x50_min2pts.bin
but it is on a wierdish (llc) grid and you would have to interpolate
to whatever grid you plan to use.

Cheers, Dimitris

I work with Dr. Rory Barnes using an open source code called VPLanet to simulate how planetary, stellar, dynamic and many other physical properties affect habitability for exoplanetary systems.

We are trying to update our land distribution for modern Earth in our code and I wanted to know if we could use MIT GCM 1 degree resolution of the modern Earth land distribution? Our code is 1 dimensional so I will bin it from 3D to 1D and if we were to use I will gladly cite you on the papers that we use it. Thank you so much in advance!
