| Summary: | To model present-day or palaeo-ice sheets in a realistic way requires numerical methods with high spatial resolution and a comprehensive description of the relevant physical processes. Nevertheless, some basic elements of the interaction between ice sheets and climate can be investigated by simple models. Some of them have been proposed in the literature a long time ago. Anyone undertaking an advanced numerical modelling project is advised to study these simple models first. |
