# BedMachine Tools for MATLAB



Matlab tools for loading, interpolating, and displaying BedMachine ice sheet topography.

## Requirements 

* [Antarctic Mapping Tools for Matlab](https://github.com/chadagreene/Antarctic-Mapping-Tools) (Greene et al., 2017) or [Arctic Mapping Tools](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/63324) if you're analyzing Greenland.

* BedMachine data for [Greenland](https://nsidc.org/data/IDBMG4) or [Antarctica](https://nsidc.org/data/nsidc-0756) (Morlighem et al., 2017 & 2019).

## Contents 

* **`bedmachine_data`** loads the gridded data. 



* **`bedmachine_interp`** interpolates surface elevation, thickness, bed, etc at any locations. 



* **`bedmachine`** plots BedMachine data as imagesc or contour. 



* **`bedmachine_profile`** creates a profile slice along a straight line such as a ship track or flowline. 



* **`bedmachine_3d`** creates a 3D map of BedMachine data. 



## Citing this dataset

If you use BedMachine data, please cite the Morlighem paper listed below. And if this function is useful for you, please do me a kindness and cite my Antarctic Mapping Tools paper.
