+\begin{description}
+\item[\code{SHEFLICEtopoFile}:] under-ice topography of ice shelves in
+  meters; upwards is positive, that as for the bathymetry files,
+  negative values are required for topography below the sea-level;
+\item[\code{SHEFLICEloadAnomalyFile}:] pressure load anomaly at the bottom of
+  the ice shelves in pressure units (Pa); this field is absolutely
+  required to avoid large excursions of the free surface during
+  initial adjustment processes; obtained by integrating an approximate
+  density from the surface at $z=0$ down to the bottom of the last
+  fully dry cell within the ice shelf, see 
+  Eq.~(\ref{eq:surfacepressure}); however, the file
+  \code{SHEFLICEloadAnomalyFile} must not be $p_{top}$, but
+  $p_{top}-g\sum_{k'=1}^{n-1}\rho_{0}\Delta{z}_{k'}$, with
+  $\rho_{0}=$~\code{rhoConst}, so that in the absenses of a $\rho^{*}$
+  that is different from $\rho_{0}$, the anomaly is zero.
