[MITgcm-devel] depressed Eta and sIceLoad

[mlosch at awi-bremerhaven.de]

Hi,
I cannot read Dimitris' link to the jpeg, but I believe him anyway.

Jean-Michel, with flooding added, the low SSH is gone (so flooding works), BUT as I said before, there is much more ice 
and much more fresh water due to melting ice. Somehow, either the production of snow on ice (which would mean that 
there's something wrong with either the prescribed precipitation or its decomposition into snow and rain), or the melting 
of snow is wrong (the latter would give ice and fresh water as well, so I don't know ...). I just love this growth.F routine.
