PISM Aliases
The table below maps PISM variable names to IGM canonical names. IGM's internal names were originally chosen to follow PISM conventions, so many entries are identity mappings. The non-identity entries are where the two conventions diverge (e.g. PISM uses temp for ice temperature; IGM uses T).
PISM aliases are active by default — builtin_state_aliases loads both descriptive.yaml and pism.yaml at startup, so state.temp, state.climatic_mass_balance, state.liqfrac, etc. work out of the box.
