Bedmap2 Toolbox for Matlab
Check the Examples tab above for function contents, syntax, and examples ^ ^.
Bedmap2 is a 1 km resolution dataset of Antarctic surface, ice thickness, and bed topography. Details about Bedmap2 can be found here: http://www.antarctica.ac.uk//bas_research/our_research/az/bedmap2. This set of functions is a plugin for Antarctic Mapping Tools (Greene et al., 2017).

Comments and Ratings (3)
Updates
| 4.6.0.0 | Just a few documentation updates. No changes in functionality. |
|
| 4.6.0.0 | Mostly documentation updates. Also, grounding line data is now included in this toolbox, which removes the Image Processing Toolbox requirement and eliminates the need to run an install script. |
|
| 4.5.0.0 | Plotting bedmap2('gl',...'xy') and bedmap2('coast',...'xy') are now much faster. Also fixed a bug where bedmap2_data was calling the rock mask when user requested Vostok mask. |
|
| 4.4.0.0 | bedmap2_data now returns double precision. |
|
| 4.4.0.0 | Added bedmap2_dist function. |
|
| 4.3.0.0 | Fixed some bugs in bedmap2_profile. |
|
| 4.2.0.0 | Updated contouring in the bedmap2 plotting function. Contouring now follows Matlab's contouring syntax. |
|
| 4.1.0.0 | Minor bug fix in bedmap2_profile. |
|
| 1.13.0.0 | Switch to tiff-based data, reduced dependence on Mapping Toolbox, much faster data loading and plotting, addition of bedmap2_profile. |
|
| 1.12.0.0 | Version 3.0. |
|
| 1.11.0.0 | Adapted into a plugin for the Antarctic Mapping Tools package. |
|
| 1.10.0.0 | v2.30: Added support for WGS84 elevations; added cubic, spline, and nearest-neighbor interpolation; changed default contour colors from blue to black, added colorbar location options. |
|
| 1.9.0.0 | Typo fixes in the header files. Functionality unchanged. |
|
| 1.8.0.0 | Removed dependency on deg2rad and rad2deg. Added examples in documentation. |
|
| 1.7.0.0 | v2.25: improved install error handling, changed default inset frame setting in bedmap2_zoom, documentation edits. |
|
| 1.6.0.0 | Fixed a bug in bedmap2_interp, expanded documentation, increased robustness of install scripts. |
|
| 1.5.0.0 | fixed a typo in bedmap2_interp |
|
| 1.4.0.0 | Added drainage basins and ASAID grounding lines. |
|
| 1.3.0.0 | Several added features: scalebar, scarlabel, zoom, contouring, just to name a few. |
|
| 1.2.0.0 | Fixed an error relation to pixel reference location. If you used a previous version, be sure to rerun bedmap2_runfirst.m using Version 1.2 or later. |
|
| 1.1.0.0 | v1.01: Edited Example 9 and added Example 10. |
