Summary of the Article:

Title: Glaciers in the CTSM Documentation

Main Points:

1. This chapter focuses on the features of the Community Land Model (CLM) that are specific to coupling with an ice sheet model, particularly the CISM (Community Ice Sheet Model) in the CESM (Community Earth System Model) context.

2. General information about glacier land units is provided elsewhere in the CTSM documentation, specifically in Chapter 2.2, which covers an overview of surface characterization, vertical discretization, and model input requirements.

3. The documentation and user's guide for CISM are provided in the reference by Lipscomb and Sacks (2012).

4. The chapter aims to describe the features of CLM that are tailored to the coupling with an ice sheet model, such as CISM, within the CESM framework.
