Spatial patterns of basal drag inferred using control methods from a full-Stokes and simpler models for Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica
Basal drag is a fundamental control on ice stream dynamics that remains poorly understood or constrained by observations. Here, we apply control methods on ice surface velocities of Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica to infer the spatial pattern of basal drag using a full-Stokes (FS) model of ice...
