Dependence of ice ablation on temperature and relative humidity. Contours give sublimation rate for a given temperature (x-axis) and relative humidity (RH; y-axis) assuming an ice burial depth of 0.5 m based on Eq. 5. The model simulation assumes RH = 0.01 but allows temperature to vary with time and location along the flow line depending on obliquity and local slope, respectively
