Dear all,

I also made available region mask files in NetCDF format for Greenland. 
Similar to Antarctica, the required variable 'mask_region' is contained 
in the latest versions of the IMBIE basin files 
grl{05,10,20,40}_imbie2016_basins_extrapolated.nc. To download them, run 
the script get_input_files.sh that is part of the SICOPOLIS package. The 
regions defined are the six IMBIE basins NO, NE, SE, SW, CW and NW 
(<http://imbie.org/imbie-2016/drainage-basins/>, scroll down to "Rignot 
Basins").

So, to create regional scalar output for these six regions, get the 
latest revision of SICOPOLIS and define

#define MASK_REGION_FILE 'grlxx_imbie2016_basins_extrapolated.nc'

(xx to be replaced by the chosen resolution) in the run-specs header. 
The rest will happen automatically.

Best regards,

Ralf
