+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.
