Arctic Mapping Tools

Or: Antarctic Mapping Tools for Matlab, Greenland Edition

Arctic Mapping Tools

This is a Northern-hemisphere edition of Antarctic Mapping Tools for MATLAB.

Documentation

Most of the functions in this GitHub repo directly mimic functions in the Antarctic version, and that's where you'll find the best documentation for the Arctic tools.

Most of the functions in this toolbox end with the letter n to indicate the northern hemisphere version of the Antarctic tools. For example, The Arctic function plotpsn is equivalent to the Antarctic plotps function.

Plugins

Here are some Greenland datasets that are designed to work with Arctic Mapping Tools:

• BedMachine Greenland and Antarctic ice thickness, bed elevation, surface elevation, and masks.
• ITS_LIVE global ice velocity mosaics.
• Check the File Exchange for potentially more datasets, or email me if you something specific in mind that you'd like to see.
