| description | This variable (named fx.ice?) shall identify the thickness of a prescribed ice sheet. This information is relevant to better understand how different models treat ice. For models where an ice sheet is just orography + an ice sheet mask, I believe the value should be set to zero. For models that explicitly resolve an ice sheet thickness, the thickness of the ice sheet should be provided. |
