If both solutions give the same results, I’d go with SHELFICE_USE_HEATBALANCE_FOR_FRESHWATERFLUX defined, as this is in compact form what is implemented in pkg/steep_icecavity. I have no experience with this version. The other option is a hack that just avoids the division by zero, this is only physically correct if sLoc is really zero at the same time.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">M.</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On 22.
