This from provides tools and options for setting the initial conditions for temperature and in particular ice in the Initial Conditions for Ice Thickness. Note that it is required to activate the temperature module in the Modules menu to access the ice ICs.
When the Assign button is pressed, the Apply Cell Properties via Polygons form is displayed with appropriate options for that parameter as shown in Figure 1. Here the user can set the ice thickness. The options and format of data files to upload to are described in Apply Cell Properties via Polygon.
