[MITgcm-devel] free drift ice model

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Matt, a few more options for you to consider:

1) A wonderful recent addition to pkg/seaice, courtesy of Martin, is EVP sea-ice 
dynamic solver, which I suspect would be more efficient in your configuration 
than LSR running at every time step.

2) Another way to speed code in your configuration is to set
    SEAICE_deltaTdyn = 3600
in data.seaice.  This is because LSR is implicit in everything except Coriolis. 
  That way cost of LSR will become negligible relative to other stuff.

3) For diagnosing how ice moves wrt to ocean, the high-res cube results may be 
more appropriate than the coarser-resolution ECCO-GODAE integrations.
