Hi,

For the non-newtonian rheology, after checking at the unit of A in gale, it
seems that the unit is not in Pa^(-1) . s^(-1/n) as indicated in gale manual
but in Pa^(-n) . s(-1) (Same as ranalli, 1997).
Indeed when using translated values from Frederiksen et al., 2001, we obtain
A before scaling = 1.63e-26, then we have to scale directly with the scaling
factor for gale (~1e25). Ascaled becomes 0.163 and works just fine !

 [A translated from MPa . s^(1/n) to Pa^(-n) . s(-1) by multiplying *^(-n)
   ---->    208 MPa . s^(1/n) becomes 208e6^(-3.1) = 1.63e-26]

Cheers

Nicolas Riel
