Overview

• Product name and version: HIRHAM5 ice mask (no official name) [Example: RGI, GlacierMiP, BedMachine, ISMIP, or it could even be a study/paper in some cases]
• Purpose of your product: Surface mass balance [Example: mass balance, hydrology, ecological, etc.]
• Geographic region: Antarctica [Example: Greenland, Antarctica, Peripheral]
• Year(s) covered by product: 1950-2100 (historical, reanalysis, and projections)

[Use the sections below to describe the upstream input mask for your work (if any), masks you generate internally (if any), and downstream output masks you release (if any), reasons for their usage, and cost of changing.]

Upstream

[For each upstream mask product you used, copy and repeat this section. Or remove if no upstream mask]

• What upstream mask product did you use? HIRHAM5 has two resolutions of 0.11degree and 0.44 degree , with an ice mask derived from data created by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Obser- vation and Science (EROS) Center and consisting of Ad- vanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data at a 1 km resolution collected from 1992 to 1993 (Eidenshink and Faudeen, 1994)

• Reason for using this mask Historical reasons I think, it has never been updated

• Projection information: equatorial rotated pole

• Year or years of input product(s): Constant over time

Internal

The ice mask from HIRHAM5

Other notes

The HIRHAM5 ice mask includes ice shelves. All kind of processing on grounded ice or basins are done after the model has been run.
