+Options to define the top and bottom friction are defined through the  \ngn{nambfr} namelist variables.
+The top friction is activated only if the ice shelf cavities are opened (\np{ln\_isfcav}~=~true).
+As the friction processes at the top and bottom are the represented similarly, only the bottom friction is described in detail.

 Both the surface momentum flux (wind stress) and the bottom momentum 
 flux (bottom friction) enter the equations as a condition on the vertical
