[MITgcm-devel] seaice

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Martin and Jinlun, I am out of my depth when it comes to advection schemes.  Is 
there a reason for changing the scheme that is there already in pkg/seaice?

For cubed-sphere grid right now, I assumed that grid is rectangular near the 
Poles (CS*ICE=1, TNG*ICE=0).  This was a quick fix to get going but it is not 
exact.  So maybe that explains why you get different numerical values?

Regarding coastal sflux from seaice.  One does expect coastal regions around 
Antarctica to be ice/salt factories, but maybe too much salt is being rejected. 
  Carl recently send me some slides and Ph.D. thesis from Dirk Notz:
http://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/~dimitri/Notz/talk_MPI16112005.pdf
http://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/~dimitri/Notz/PhD_thesis_Dirk.pdf
suggesting there is considerable uncertainty regarding how much salt is rejected 
during sea ice creation.
