+# Instructions to create the AWI Basemap
+
+Detailled instructions on how to create the AWI Basemap.
+
+> Note: All commands and scripts are expected to be executed in `~/process/`. If used otherwise, don't forget to adjust the paths.
+
+`Section 0` quickly describes the necessary software. `Section 1` lists the data that needs to be downloaded. `Section 2` describes all the necesaary adjustments to the scripts. And the rest is just run and wait.
+
+# 0. Software requirements
+
+The process described below is entirely based on open source GIS software. Most of the steps could also be done within the graphical user interface of QGIS. Others rely on commandline usage of the GDAL package (ogr2ogr) which comes with the QGIS installation. To run the scripts, you need the following:
+
+- python 3.x
+- gdal
+- gdal-python
+
+The scripts where designed for and tested with the OSGeo4W installation of the above mentioned packages.
+
+# 1. Download data
+
+Before processing and combining all input layers to the basemap, we need to download some geodata.
+
+##### General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO)
+GEBCO is the DEM basis for the basemap. Download GEBCO in its global netCDF version to avoid the GeoTIFF tiles. Details on the GEBCO dataset can be found [here](https://gitlab.awi.de/sdreutte/basemap/-/blob/master/data/gebco.md).
+Download GEBCO here: https://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_data/
+The netCDF grid `GEBCO_2020.nc` should be placed in `~/data/gebco/`.
+
+##### Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS)
+To overlay the map with global glaciers, GLIMS stores the necessary data. Download the latest GLIMS dataset as ESRI Shapefile Polygon. Details on the GLIMS dataset can be found [here](https://gitlab.awi.de/sdreutte/basemap/-/blob/master/data/glims.md).
+Download GLIMS here: http://www.glims.org/download/latest
+The SHP file `glims_polygons.shp` (and all auxiliary files) should be placed in `~data/glims/`.
+
+##### Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GIMP)
+To overlay the map with the Greenland ice sheet, GIMP stores the necessary data. Download the latest GIMP Ice Mask dataset as GeoTIFF. To access the GIMP dataset, a NASA Earthdata account is needed. Details on the GIMP dataset can be found [here](https://gitlab.awi.de/sdreutte/basemap/-/blob/master/data/gimp.md).
+Download GIMP here: https://nsidc.org/data/nsidc-0714/versions/1
+The geoTIFF grid `GimpIceMask_90m_v1.1.tif` should be placed in `~data/gimp/`.
+
+##### SCAR Antarctic Digital Database (ADD)
+To overlay the map with the Antarctic ice sheet and shelf ice, the ADD stores the necessary data. Download the coastline data and the rock outcrop data (medium resolution version is sufficient. Details on the ADD dataset can be found [here](https://gitlab.awi.de/sdreutte/basemap/-/blob/master/data/add.md).
+Download ADD coastlines here: https://data.bas.ac.uk/download/f18d638d4-3c71-442f-9415-01d17842d98d
+And ADD rock outcrops here: https://data.bas.ac.uk/download/fe90d6aec-b53e-40c1-ad52-c05e03a58c1d
+The GPKG files `add_coastline_medium_res_polygon_v7.3.gpkg` and `add_rock_outcrop_medium_res_polygon_v7.3.gpkg` should be placed in `~data/add/`.
+
+# 2. Adjust scripts
+
+Most of the necessary adjustments are happening in `~/process/config.py`. There are two minor things that need adjustment in other scripts.
+
+## 2.1 `~/process/config.py`
+
+##### Input Files
+After downloading the input data you need to make sure the input files in the configuration fit the filenames of the downloaded datasets. New versions of the datasets might lead to new filenames. Go through the `INPUT FILES` section in the configuration and check them all.
+
+##### General Create Options
+The default settings for resolution (degree/meter), the z factor for shading and the extent of the polar grids are set here. If you want different settings, adjust the variables in this section. However, read the notes, expecially on resolution.
+
+##### Operational Parameters
+If your Python 3.x installation has a different executable than OSGeo4W (`python3`), adjust this here.
+
+## 2.2 `~/process/1_process_add.py`
+
+Some of the vector processes require the GPKG layer names in their SQL commands. In ADD there is an inconsistency with the layer bames, which is why the layer name varibale for rock outcrops needs to be overwritten at the beginning of the process. In case this gets fixed or other incositencies arise in newer versions, make sure these are taken care of here.
+
+## 2.3 `~/process/run.bat`
+
+Again, if your Python 3.x executable is different to `python3`, adjust this at the beginning of the run script.
+
+# 3. Run
+
+Now run `~/process/run.bat` (or run all python scripts manually in order) and check the results, once finished.

 At this point, the **AWI Basemap**s is available in three color sets. All three are based on the AWI blues (RGB bright: 7/172/231, RGB dark: 0/62/110). Yet, the "default" color palette reduces these blues to half their saturation, the "bright" color palette uses the blues directly, and the "dark" color palette uses the blues with a quarter of their saturation.

 The current solution for creating the polar stereographic GEBCO grids (VRT)

+produces holes on the north and south pole, which are then interpolated. This
+likely comes from creating polar stereographic grids with such large extents

+hole.
+The interpolation (gdal_fillnodata), however, extrapolates
+the grid around the minmax latitude circle.
+Another solution needs to be found. Normal clip and warp, however, produces
+issues:
 
 - Nearest Neighbor: raster artifacts
 - Cubic (and others): dateline blur
 
 What to do?
