Description of a hybrid ice sheet-shelf model, and application to Antarctica. Pollard, D. & DeConto, R., M. Geosci. Model Dev., 5:1273-1295, gmd-5-1273-2012, 2012.
Website doi abstract bibtex The formulation of a 3-D ice sheet-shelf model is described. The model is designed for long-term continentalscale applications, and has been used mostly in paleoclimatic studies. It uses a hybrid combination of the scaled shallow ice and shallow shelf approximations for ice flow. Floating ice shelves and grounding-line migration are included, with parameterized ice fluxes at grounding lines that allows relatively coarse resolutions to be used. All signifi- cant components and parameterizations of the model are described in some detail. Basic results for modern Antarctica are compared with observations, and simulations over the last 5 million years are compared with previously published results. The sensitivity of ice volumes during the last deglaciation to basal sliding coefficients is discussed.
