Abstract
Ice sheet flow laws currently use coefficients that depend on their respective power-law exponents, complicating systematic parameter exploration in models. This study proposes dimensionless formulations for both basal sliding and internal deformation laws, which decouple coefficients from exponents, simplifying sensitivity studies and making independent variation of these parameters feasible in ice-sheet models.
