    Currently there are no namelist options to change parameter values.
    Several important parameters that can be modified can be found in:

+   Surface runoff is assigned to ``FLOW_ICE`` when the top active layer at the
+   specific grid point has a density of 850 kg/m3, while surface runoff is
+   assigned to ``FLOW_SNOW`` when the top active layer has a density equal to
+   or less than 850 kg/m3. The sum of ``FLOW_ICE`` and ``FLOW_SNOW`` is equal
+   to ``PSNOWTHRUFAL``. Note that runoff from precipitation is included in
+   surface runoff, thus ``FLOW_SNOW`` and ``FLOW_ICE`` cannot be used directly
+   as indication if melt is from the ice part of the glacier or snow part of
+   the glacier.
