GEUS freshwater runoff #646

From Twila:

Lots of GEUS data here https://www.promice.org/PromiceDataPortal/ also. TopoHeat and Freshwater Runoff are both good candidates.

Topographic correction for geothermal heat flux seems to be just correction values that you can use in combination with another dataset, so I don't think that will be useful to us on its own. Freshwater runoff is a large number of netcdf files, one per year.

I'll (Twila) look at whether these are accurately shown on the data suggestion table - and consider what is of interest.

What's the difference between the "Coast" and "Margin" directories here? The coast files are larger. Each directory contains one dataset per year for several decades.

The "Coast" category only has MAR outputs for each year. "Margin" includes MAR and RACMO outputs (again, one per year)

We already have streams, outlets, and basins from this dataset. The netcdf component we're considering adding is... "1979 through 2017 time series of Greenland liquid water runoff for each outlet. "

We're not sure how to display this in QGIS. Let's think about it more.
