On non-dimensional forms of basal sliding laws and flow laws for ice-sheet and glacier modelling

Key Points

• Non-dimensional basal sliding laws enhance model accuracy for ice-sheet dynamics, especially under varying conditions.
• Ice-sheet modelling developed new formulations, advancing understanding of glacier flows and interactions.
• Analysis focused on theoretical frameworks, using non-dimensionalization to interpret sliding and flow laws.
• These findings may enable enhanced predictive capabilities for future ice-sheet responses to climate change.
