Testing a numerical glacial hydrological model using spring speed-up events and outburst floods

We describe a numerical model of a glacial‐hydrologic system that reproduces the salient features of two hydrological and ice motion events commonly observed on temperate alpine glaciers. These include the pattern of ice sliding and water discharge characteristic of spring speed‐up events, and the t...
