 \label{DYN_hpg_isf}
 Beneath an ice shelf, the total pressure gradient is the sum of the pressure gradient due to the ice shelf load and
- the pressure gradient due to the ocean load. If cavity opened (\np{ln\_isfcav}~=~true) these 2 terms can be
- calculated by setting \np{ln\_dynhpg\_isf}~=~true. No other scheme are working with the ice shelf.\\
-
-$\bullet$ The main hypothesis to compute the ice shelf load is that the ice shelf is in an isostatic equilibrium.
- The top pressure is computed integrating from surface to the base of the ice shelf a reference density profile 
-(prescribed as density of a water at 34.4 PSU and -1.9$\degres C$) and corresponds to the water replaced by the ice shelf. 
-This top pressure is constant over time. A detailed description of this method is described in \citet{Losch2008}.\\
