====== Tool MshGlacier ======


* **Source Fortran File:** ''MshGlacier.f90''

This tool deforms vertically and horizontally  a 1m x 1m square mesh to conform with the bedrock and surface elevations given as data points. One has first to create a square 1m x 1m Elmer mesh (''name_mesh''), and to give the bedrock and surface elevations in two ascii files.
Then, the mesh can be constructed using the x-coordinate of the bedrock and surface data points (must then contains the same number of points with the same x-coordinates and so the mesh) or the node coordinates can be interpolated.
Linear or cubic spline interpolation can be used.

A ''mesh_input.dat'' file must contains the following information\\
<code>
! Name of the mesh directory (should exist)
mismip
The mesh x-coordinates correspond to the data? (Yes=1, No=0)
0
Linear / Cubic Spline (0 / 1)
1
! Surface name file
mismip_surf.dat
! Number of Points in the surface file
303
! Bedrock name file
mismip_bed.dat
! Number of Point in the bed file
303
! Minimum ice thickness
1.0
! Mesh start at x0
0.0
! Mesh end at xEnd
1800000.0
</code>
