Leconte Plume Internal Waves

This repository contains analysis code used in the paper titled "Internal gravity waves generated by subglacial discharge: implications for tidewater glacier melt" submitted to Geophysical Research Letters by: J. M. Cusack, R. H. Jackson, J. D. Nash, E. Skyllingstad, E. C. Pettit, D. A. Sutherland, R. J. Motyka, and J M. Amundson.

Some datasets were too large to upload to GitHub and are stored in the Zenodo archive:

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7679699

Download these files and move them to the data/ directory in this repository.

One dataset from the LES (file name l2018_1980_d150_3eq_slb_1.nc) was too large to archive. It may be requested from the authors if needed.

Requirements

  • UNIX-like operating system such as macOS or some flavour of LINUX
  • git and wget installed on your system
  • The conda package manager (I recommend the lightweight version miniconda)
  • MATLAB version R2020a or greater

Installing and removing the environment

A conda environment is specified in environment.yml and may be install using the appropriate bash scripts.

To install:

./install_environment.sh

To remove:

./remove_environment.sh

These also install/remove the jupyter kernel for the environment.

If these don't execute, you might need to change the file permissions with chmod u+x *.sh.
