Coupling of climate models and ice sheet models by surface mass balance gradients: application to the Greenland Ice Sheet
It is notoriously difficult to couple surface mass balance (SMB) results from climate models to the changing geometry of an ice sheet model. This problem is traditionally avoided by using only accumulation from a climate model, and parameterizing the meltwater run-off as a function of temperature, w...
