Hi Jinlun, what do you mean by "relatively longer time step" and by "smaller
time step" in your reply to Matt?

Matt, I take back what I said in previous e-mail. I "have" tried higher
resolution sea-ice model, at 1/8 and 1/16th global. That was some time ago. I
did not look at sea ice output in detail but it did not blow up. Formulation
for these two integrations was the older B-grid, ocean decoupled from ice.
