The following changes have been made to MOM_ice_shelf_dynamics.F90 and MOM_ice_shelf_initialize.F90:
The ice-stiffness parameter (A_GLEN_ISOTHERM) used to compute ice viscosity and the basal friction parameter (BASAL_FRICTION_COEFF) used to compute basal traction have been changed from constants to 2D fields to allow for their spatial variability.
Subroutines initialize_ice_C_basal_friction() and initialize_ice_AGlen() to initialize these fields either with constant values or by reading them from files were added to MOM_ice_shelf_initialize.F90.
Several fields have been added to a restart file.

A test case for initialization of both fields from a file is /lustre/f2/dev/gfdl/Olga.Sergienko/MOM6expls/ocean_only/ice_shelf_solo/IS2Dincl_plane_betaAGlen_file_sym
A test case for initialization of both fields with constant values is /lustre/f2/dev/gfdl/Olga.Sergienko/MOM6expls/ocean_only/ice_shelf_solo/IS2Dincl_plane_betaAGlen_const_sym
A test case for non-symmetric memory is /lustre/f2/dev/gfdl/Olga.Sergienko/MOM6expls/ocean_only/ice_shelf_solo/IS2Dincl_plane_betaAGlen_const_nsym

…ts spatial variability. A subroutine initialize_ice_C_basal_friction() is added to initialize this parameter either with a constant value or reading from a file.
… from a constant to a field to allow for its spatial variability; several parameters are added to a restart file. In MOM_ice_shelf_initialize.F90 a subroutine initialize_ice_AGlen is added; it initializes the ice-stiffness parameter A_Glen either by reading it from a file or assigning a constant value.

These changes make sense to me, and appear to me to be properly implemented based on my visual inspection. Moreover, this PR has passed both the TC testing and the pipeline testing at https://gitlab.gfdl.noaa.gov/ogrp/MOM6/-/pipelines/12878.

Although this PR could change the documentation of some parameters in the parameter_doc files for some cases, it does not change the parameter_doc files in the MOM6-examples test suite.
