To calculate :math:`T_{bt}^*` in equation :eq:`Tbt`, :math:`f(x)` and :math:`b(y)` are discretized using many small categories (100). :math:`f(x)` is discretized between 0 and 50 m while :math:`b(y)` is truncated at plus and minus three :math:`\sigma_b`. :math:`f(x)` is also modified by setting it to zero after a certain percentile of the log-normal distribution. This percentile, which is currently set to 99.7%, notably affects the simulation of landfast ice and is used as a tuning parameter. Its impact is similar to the one of the parameter :math:`k_1` for the LKD method.
