These are the steps for the project going forward

Steps

1. First priority is to understand the math! Read through the Kendall et. al paper to understand the algorithm. Write it down and then latex it. Love numbers are a secondary priority but in the appendix.
2. Mask data. This comes from the Ice PC2 model from Jerry's lab (previous student). We will use Greenland, WAIS, and Continental Ice Sheet masks (which is generally how it is done in the literature). Ocean mask we already have from NOAA I believe.
3. SLR Estimates. Potentially just using tide gauge data from PSMSL. (come back to this). Note that these are off since our model ignores both thermal expansion and ocean dynamics.
4. Sensitivity analysis. Use estimates in the IPCC 6th Annual Assessment Chapter 9, Tables 9.2 and 9.2 to get the different scenarios for Greenland and WAIS eustatic melt. Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) 2.6, 4.5, 8.5. "This assessment" bolded value at the bottom (ie 0.11, 0.11, 0.12 for WAIS). Match continental w WAIS estimates. Additionally we can change the eustatic amount for calculating ice sheet fingerprints.

Steps

1. Understand the math using the lectures from last year. Latex in preliminaries section.
2. Add equations for earth rotation.
3. Alter previous code to create a gauss-legendre grid by hand
4. Sensitivity analysis. Use estimates in the IPCC 6th Annual Assessment Chapter 9, Tables 9.2 and 9.2 to get the different scenarios for Greenland and WAIS eustatic melt.
