v1 v2 13 13 === Description === 14 14 15 '''Dynamics for the top layer beneath the ice shelves:''' 16 - top partial step 17 - top friction (same option as for the bottom friction) 18 - Correction of the divergence locally (as for runoff fresh water flux) 19 20 '''Thermodynamics used to compute the melt rate:''' 21 - ISOMIP formulation (2 equation formulation) 22 - 3 equation formulation (Jenkins et al. 1991) 23 - Forcing mode (prescribed melt rate) is available. 24 - Losh top boundary layer (Losch et al., 2008) 25 26 '''Validation configuration:''' ISOMIP 27 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. 28 29 '''Bibliography:''' 30 - Hunter, J.R.: Specification for test models of ice shelf cavities, technical report, Antarctic Climate & Ecosystems Cooperative Research centre, version 7, 2006. 31 - Jenkins, A., Hellmer, H.H. and D.H.
