Embedded Ice Sheet Model, James L. Fastook
Embedded Ice Sheet Model, James L. Fastook
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
This award supports the development of an embedded ice sheet model, one where a section of the ice sheet (at a mesoscale) is modeled at higher resolution, but is driven by output from a lower-resolution model of the entire ice sheet (at a global scale). In addition to giving higher resolution results, it will be better able to capture the behavior of small-scale, but dynamically important, systems such as ice streams. It will also be possible with the new embedded model to include more complete physics (such as longitudinal stresses). This project will enable the continued development and application of …
