[MITgcm-devel] SEAICE_rhoIce

[Martin Losch]

Very good, but while you are at it, could you also change other  
defaults to something sensible? I have made list in:
http://dev.mitgcm.org/pipermail/mitgcm-devel/2007-June/002868.html
item 1. defaults.
That would be great (to have snow advected by default, flooding,  
multicategory, consistency with wspeed of exf)
