◆ volume_flow_rate_from_land_to_water()
Return the volumetric ice flow rate from land to water (across the grounding line), in m^3 / s. Positive values correspond to ice moving from the grounded side to the floating (ocean) side. Mass continuity equation without source terms: dH/dt = - div(Q) Approximating the flux divergence, we get
Multiplying by the cell area we get the volume flow rate dV/dt = - dx *dy * div(Q) which can be approximated by
