BrAHMs V1.0: a fast, physically based subglacial hydrology model for continental-scale application
... Bueler and van Pelt (2015) developed a subglacial hydrol- ogy model for the Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM). Similar to BraHMs, their hydrology model simulates the subglacial water flow using a Darcian flux and limits ...
