Blatter (1995). This solver supports multigrid preconditioners (see Brown et al 2013)
and includes 5 verification test based on manufactured solutions.
- Implement simplified-geometry experiments (A-D) from the ISMIP-HOM intercomparison.
- Adjust PICO ocean input average across covered basins, in which the ice shelf has
in fact a connection to the ocean. Large ice shelves, that cover across two basins,
that do not share an ocean boundary, are split into two separate ice shelf instances
with individual ocean inputs.

each region is marked with a distinct positive integer. In PICO, ocean input temperature
and salinity are averaged on the continental shelf within each basins. For each ice shelf,
the input values of the overturning circulation are calculated as an area-weighted average

identified, standard values are used (**Warning:** this could strongly influence melt
rates computed by PICO). In regions where the PICO geometry cannot be identified,
:cite:`BeckmannGoosse2003` is applied.
