[MITgcm-devel] seaice obcs memo

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Dimitris,

Just one thing:
I don't worry too much about OBCS pickups:
Without Orlanski, we don't need OBCS pickups.
And with Orlanski, we should have orlanski-obcs pickups
(but it's additional fields to write anyway),
but the last time I checked, was not able to get a good
restart with OBCS & Orlanski, with or without OBCS pickups.

For now, I think it's good to have an entry point (an
empty S/R seaice_obcs_read/write_pickup would do it) and 
when 1) orlanski restart is fixed and 2) orlanski is implemented
with seaice, then we could add the call to the obcs_orlanski_rw_pickup.
Does it make sense ?
