 === Description ===
 
+'''Dynamics for the top layer beneath the ice shelves:'''
+    - top partial step
+    - top friction (same option as for the bottom friction)
+    - Correction of the divergence locally (as for runoff fresh water flux)
+
+'''Thermodynamics used to compute the melt rate:'''
+    - ISOMIP formulation                               (2 equation formulation)
+    - 3 equation formulation                           (Jenkins et al. 1991)
+    - Forcing mode (prescribed melt rate) is available.
+    - Losh top boundary layer                          (Losch et al., 2008)
+
+'''Validation configuration:''' ISOMIP
+    ISOMIP is a closed rectangular basin of uniform depth 900 m, spanning 15° of longitude, and latitudes 80° South to 70° South. The whole basin is covered with an ice shelf, with the ice draft rising linearly from 700 m at 80° South to 200 m at 76° South, and remaining constant at 200 m from 76° South to 70° South. The geometry is uniform in the east-west direction. All the model setup and geometry is fully described in J.R. Hunter,    2006.
