The unitless multiplier on the thermal forcing term, $\Gamma_Tx_0/D_0$.

The unitless multiplier applied to the theram forcing term to get the melt rate, $c_oT_0/L$.

The salinity of fresh water. Defaults to 0.

The melting point of the ice. Defaults to 0.

The shape coefficient for a horizontally-integrated model. It is defined as $$\alpha_{|\vec{U}|T} = \frac{1}{y_2 - y_1} \int^{y_2}_{y_1} f_{|\vec{U}|}f_T dy,$$ where $f_{|\vec{U}|}(y)$ and $f_T(y)$ are the shapes of the variables $|\vec{U}|$ and $T$ in the transverse direction. Defaults to 1.
