Obliquity-dependent precipitation rates assumed for the accumulation zone. The model assumes precipitation follows a logistic curve with the transition from ablation to precipitation (35 mm/year) occurring over a 2° window in obliquity (shaded region) centered at 45°. The rate of ablation varies with temperature (dependent on obliquity and surface slope, see Figs. 8 and 9)
