GIA model output for bedrock displacement at geodetic GPS sites in the Casey-Davis region of East Antarctica

Full description

This dataset includes predictions of bedrock motion due to glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) from a range of published forward and inverse models. The predictions are only for the geodetic GPS sites considered within AAS4318:
Site(4-character ID), longitude (decimal degrees), latitude (decimal degrees)

CAS1 110.519729 -66.283391
DAV1 77.972630 -68.577332
BHIL 100.599007 -66.251025
CAD2 86.100628 -68.566511
CAD3 96.363668 -66.521104
CAD4 99.143786 -67.419656
CAD5 107.764024 -66.552476
CAD6 120.990964 -66.789283

The file is ascii text with each row the GIA prediction for one site. The columns are given as:
Site(4-character ID) Latitude(decimal degrees) Lon(decimal degrees) G14(mm/yr) C18(mm/yr) REGINA(mm/yr) RATES(mm/yr) ICE6G_D IJ05R2_115kmLT(mm/yr) W12_best(mm/yr)

Values are interpolated from the resolution of the grids as published using a bicubic interpolator using GMT5 grdtrack with default settings.

The reference frame of the different GIA model predictions vary, with the forward models in centre-of-mass of the solid Earth (CE) and the inverse solutions likely in centre-of-mass of the whole Earth system (CM). The original publications should be checked to confirm this.
