Log Message:
o pkg/seaice: introduce new parameter SEAICEscaleSurfStress (default = .FALSE.)
- if TRUE scale ice-ocean and ice-atmosphere stress acting on sea ice
by AREA according to Connelly et al. (2004), JPO.
- For EVP and the LSR solver, the implicit part of the drag term is
the only non-zero term in the denominator when there is no ice (which
prevented running the model with zero ice-ocean drag). If
SEAICEscaleSurfStress = .TRUE., this results in a division by zero
(or zero main diagonals BU/BV) which need to be caught. A practical
consequence is that for open water, the momentum equation reduce
to trivially 0 = 0 + 0 (for EVP). For LSR, BU/BV are reset to 1, if
they happen to be zero, often leading to a non-zero solution over
open water.
