frontal_melt_from_undercutting() double pism::frontalmelt::FrontalMeltPhysics::frontal_melt_from_undercutting ( double  h, double  q_sg, double  TF  ) const Parameterization of the frontal melt rate. This function implements equation 1 from [Rignotetal2016]. \[ q_m = (A * h * Q_{sg} ^{\alpha} + B) * \mathrm{TF}^{\beta} \] where A, B, alpha, beta are tuning parameters. Note that Rignot (2016) is an update on Xu 2013 with slightly different parameter values. Parameters [in] h water depth, meters [in] q_sg subglacial water flux, m / day [in] TF thermal forcing, Celsius Returns frontal melt rate, m / day.
