Dimitris,

too late now, because I checked in the changes on Friday (o:

I don't like external_forcing_surf as the place where E-P should be 
masked. It's not apparent to the "uninitiated" user, why this should be 
done here, because surfaceTendencyS/T is masked anyway (at least by 
recip_hfacc). I guess it could be done at the time when E-P is dumped 
on the water column. On the other hand, it doesn't not make sense for 
the SEAICE model to produce E-P over land, does it? So I actually 
think, that masking it in growth (where E-P is computed) is not so bad 
after all. Mhmmm ... I would be interested in JMC's opinion.
