The Parallel Ice Sheet Model is an open source, parallel, high-resolution ice sheet model that includes:
- A hierarchy of available stress balances
- Marine ice sheet physics, dynamic calving fronts
- A polythermal, enthalpy-based conservation of energy scheme
- Extensible coupling to atmospheric and ocean models
- Verification and validation tools
Documentation <pism-manual_>_ for users and developers- Links to MPI_ and PETSc_ for parallel simulations
- Use of
CF-compliant <cf_>_ NetCDF_ files for input and output
PISM is jointly developed at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF) <uaf_>_ and the
Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) <pik_>. UAF developers are based in
the Snow, Ice, and Permafrost Group <sip_> at the Geophysical Institute <gi_>_.
Please see PISM's manual https://www.pism.io/docs/citing for how to acknowledge the use of
PISM and PISM's funding sources. If the manual is not available, please refer to the file
doc/sphinx/citing/index.rst in the PISM repository.
