CTM

We are using jupyter notebook developed by Liz Hearn to calculate CTM values at points defined for the GFM.

GFM Points

AP has created a discretized version of the GFM. The coverage region for the GFM is similar to the CVM-H GTL coverage region. Corner points from the GFM grid are listed below.

The resolution of the GFM 3D voxel data set is 10km x 10km x 1km (depth).

Each level of the GFM has 8256 points, and the depth goes from -100km to +4km (8256 x 105 = 866880) points.

A CSV file that defines the GFM region types for each of these points is posted here:

• GFM Points (Warning 45MB download)

The points in this file use the CVM-H convention of elevation relative to sea level in meter, with positive values above sea level, and negative values depth below sea level.
