- Fluvioglacial
  - 'longitudinal evolution of a bedrock-channelled outburst flood: Russell Glacier, western Greenland'
  - People
    - Jonathan Carrivick
      - http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/j.carrivick/
  - There are four directories (for four parameters; depth, velocity, shear stress, froude), each containing data files representing cross-sectional aspects of the flood
    - The data files are CSV ASCII format
    - Values of 0, missing values, and -999 are NODATA values
  - Pre-processing
    - Remove the last 4 rows in each file
    - ...
  - Results wanted
    1. Per ROW: mean and maximum values
    2. Cross Section Number, Time to Max (Time of Max minus time of inundation, where inundation equals the first non-zero value)
    3. The number of times when values in each COLUMN exceed a threshold value
      - Thresholds
        
        'depth'
        
        4, 6, 8, 10
        
        'velocity'
        
        4, 6, 8, 10
        
        'shear stress'
        
        200, 1000, 2500, 5000
        
        'froude'
        
        0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1
      - Maximum value of all COLUMN totals above threshold (i.e. number of occasions that the value exceeds the threshold multiplied by 10 mins). [so if you have 5 column totals (number of times value exceeds threshold) for depth > 4m of 2, 2, 5 and 3 then '50' is to be stored as the value for that file]
  - Observations
    - "depth 1.csv" contains only NODATA values
