Product name and version: Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM)
Purpose of your product: mass balance
Geographic region: Greenland, Antarctica
Year(s) covered by product: N/A
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? [Example: reference, DOI, or product name and version]
PISM does not use upstream masks. Internally, a mask is computed to distinguish land ice, ocean, land, and floating ice. This mask is computed at each time step. For accurate accounting, PISM reports scalar and map-plane field such as ice mass, surface mass balance and grounding line flux. This allows the user to post process PISM simulations any way they want using their preferred masks.
Reason for using this mask
This is best way to ensure conservation of mass within the model.
If you modified the upstream mask, for example, to define and split ‘main’ vs. ‘peripheral’, how and why?

Effort required by you if upstream product changed (to a community standard)

All masks have boundaries. How, and why did you define yours?
The modeling domain is chosen by the user.
