for melt (Qm) is calculated as follows:
Qm = (1 −
α)Sin + C0 + C1Ta (2)
Where
α is the albedo for the surface (three fixed albedo values are applied: snow = 0.8, firn
= 0.55 and ice = 0.42), Ta is in ◦C and C0 +C1Ta is the sum of the longwave radiation balance
and the turbulent exchange (Oerlemans, 2001). C1 is set to 10 Wm−2 K−1 (Oerlemans, 2001)
and C0 is tuned to −45 Wm−2 K−1. Accumulation equals
