An exact solution to the temperature equation in a column of ice and bedrock

Geophysics 2007-10-09 v1

Abstract

We construct a solution of a pure conduction problem in ice and bedrock. This solution is suitable for, and is used in this paper for, verifying a numerical scheme for conservation of energy. This exact solution forms one of a suite of verification tests for PISM (Parallel Ice Sheet Model; https://gna.org/projects/pism/).
