20 Connectedness of the drainage system Water pressure in the hydrology model is really an average over a connected drainage system. It cannot e expected to e the same as pressure in unconnected regions. Increase pressure? Comparison with orehole measurements is very difficult!
21 Summary Model comines an effective pressure-dependent friction law with calculation of water pressure in the suglacial drainage system. It can reproduce a range of oserved ice ehaviour. Quantitative evaluation is still needed. Important aspects of the model - evolution of the suglacial drainage system - feedack of sliding speed on the drainage system The assumption of local connectivity of the drainage system is almost certainly wrong. Oservations suggest we should consider - transient cavitation - unconnected regions of the ed Understanding the coupling of meltwater and ice dynamics is also important for erosion and long term landscape evolution.
