HBV-light model) and glacier melt (using a temperature degree-day model).

The definition of glacier boundaries and initial volume is defined in three parameters.
`glacierfrac` is a parameter that gives the fraction of each grid cell covered by a glacier
as a number between zero and one. `glacierstore` is a state parameter that gives the amount

The definition of glacier boundaries and initial volume is defined by two parameters. The
parameter `glacierfrac` gives the fraction of each grid cell covered by a glacier as a
number between zero and one. The state parameter `glacierstore` gives the amount of water
(in mm w.e.) within the glaciers at each grid cell. Because the glacier store
(`glacierstore`) cannot be initialized by running the model for a couple of years, a default
initial state should be supplied by adding this parameter to the input static file. The
required glacier data can be prepared from available glacier datasets.
