[MITgcm-devel] Re: [MITgcm-support] obcs_apply_ptracer

I am holding off modifying seaice_obcs until next week so as not to put crap in 
CVS and then have to overwrite.

My understanding of the obcs issue is the following (Martin please confirm): the 
landmask used by pkg/obcs is "different" from the landmask seen by the rest of 
the code.  Most of the time this does not matter but it "does" matter when one 
is trying to do a tracer or sea-ice computation where T=S=0 causes trouble.

A second reason for holding off on modifying seaice_obcs is that I have 
suspicion that something is not quite right with lab_sea/input.salt_plume
Ever since I added "StaggerTimeStep=.TRUE.," the output of the verification 
experiment has become even more (rather than less) sensitive to the platform on 
which it is integrated.
