The Finite Element Sea ice Ocean Model (FESOM) has been augmented by an ice-shelf component with a three-equation system for diagnostic computation of boundary layer temperature and salinity. Ice shelf geometry and global ocean bathymetry have been derived from the RTopo-1 dataset. A global domain w...
