Brief communication: Time step dependence (and fixes) in Stokes simulations of calving ice shelves

<p>The buoyancy boundary condition applied to floating portions of ice sheets and glaciers in Stokes models requires special consideration when the glacier rapidly departs from hydrostatic equilibrium. This boundary condition can manifest in velocity fields that are unphysically (and strongly...
