Short summary
A long-term challenge for any model of complex large-scale processes is accounting for the impact of unresolved sub-grid (SG) processes. We quantify the impact of SG mass-balance and ice fluxes on glacial cycle ensemble results for North America. We find no easy solutions to accurately capture these impacts. We show that SG process representation and associated parametric uncertainties can have significant impact on coarse resolution model results for glacial cycle ice sheet evolution.
