Short summary
Ice thickness models based on laminar flow theory often rely on conventional assumptions regarding basal sliding parameterization when studying alpine glaciers. This paper presents the Ice Thickness Model considering Sliding Law (ITMSL) model, which integrates a basal sliding law with laminar flow equation, with the objective of simulating basal sliding to enhance the accuracy of ice thickness inversion.
