[DATA REQUEST] Add ROMSIceShelf-Shackleton-RYF-v1

[dgwyther]

Description of the data product

The Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) is a terrain-following coordinate primitive equation model, employing the Arakawa-C grid horizontal discretisation. This dataset is output from a ROMS application to the Shackleton Ice Shelf / Denman Glacier region of East Antarctica, developed by David Gwyther (UQ). It uses ROMSIceShelf (lead developer: Ben Galton-Fenzi), which is available in a (public repository)[https://github.com/bkgf/ROMSIceShelf].

This model application has been developed to provide reasonable estimates of ice-ocean interaction beneath the Denman/Shackleton Ice Shelf, using a kernel and tuning parameters that have been widely tested for other ice-ocean applications (e.g. Amery, Totten, Mertz & Ninnis, Sorsdal, Vanderford and several circum-Antarctic applications).

Output: Output is in the format of netcdf files.

Documentation: Several cookbook recipes will be written that illustrate how to load and use the dataset.

Stability: This model will be updated and run again in the future.

Contact: Interested users are requested to contact David Gwyther to discuss usage.

Hi @dgwyther , thanks for submitting your data request!

You mentioned in the description that you plan to release Jupyter notebooks to show usage of the dataset. Do you have a timescale for when you expect to do that, and where you will host those?

[dgwyther]

Thanks for the reply @marc-white . I am hoping to get the first uploaded to github in the next week or so. I intend (hope) to host it through the cosima cookbook. I will present the notebooks in a COSIMA meeting in mid-march.

@dgwyther , that sounds good. I can start looking into what's required to get the data into the catalog.

With respect to this; did you intend this to mean that you're the contact point for this dataset if a user has questions, or did you mean this as a sort of licensing condition (i.e., users should contact you if they want to use the data)?

Well both, I guess. I'd be the contact point for this dataset. But, I would also like people to contact me if they want to use it for research (and we could discuss how that might happen). I'm not sure exactly how to frame it, but I don't really want it to be a strict licensing condition.

@dgwyther no worries. If it's OK with you, may I suggest we take this conversation about licensing over to email?
