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.
