Comparing results from glacier and ice sheet communities

[mankoff]

The current D1 contains the following sentence:

If the ice sheet community adopts a similar distinction (e.g., separating contiguous ice from "peripheral ice-sheet"), results from both communities could be compared, enhancing our understanding of methodological differences and allowing accross-community MIPs.

I think this is an interesting proposition and could lead to a good paper. These two communities keep most of their results separate. A secondary result of this non-overlap effort could be to isolate and report something on the overlaps from the two distinct communities with their often truly independent methods.
