[MITgcm-devel] diagnostics for SI_Tice1, SI_Tice2, SI_Qice1, and SI_Qice2

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

There is some strange behavior in requesting diagnostics for SI_Tice1,  
SI_Tice2, SI_Qice1, and SI_Qice2.
For example if I put the following in the data.diagnostics file:

  &diagnostics_list
   frequency(1) = 2635200.,
    fields(1,1) = 'SI_Tice1',
    filename(1) = 'SI_Tice1',
  &

The model stops and I get the following error message:

(PID.TID 0000.0001) DIAGNOSTICS_SET_LEVELS: done
(PID.TID 0000.0001)  Total Nb of available Diagnostics: ndiagt=   273
(PID.TID 0000.0001) SETDIAG: Allocate  1 x  1 Levels for Diagnostic  
#   205 SI_Tice1
(PID.TID 0000.0001) SETDIAG: Allocate  1 x  1 Levels for Count.Diag  
#   201 SI_Fract
DIAGNOSTICS_SET_POINTERS: Not enough space for all active diagnostics  
(from data.diagnostics)
DIAGNOSTICS_SET_POINTERS: numperlist=     1 but needs at least     2
STOP ABNORMAL END: S/R DIAGNOSTICS_SET_POINTERS statement executed

(PID.TID 0000.0001) *** ERROR *** DIAGNOSTICS_SET_POINTERS: Not enough  
space for all active diagnostics (from data.diagnostics)
(PID.TID 0000.0001) *** ERROR *** DIAGNOSTICS_SET_POINTERS:  
numperlist=     1 but needs at least     2

It's as if I was also requesting diagnostics for SI_Fract in the sam  
file, but I am not.  Same thing happens for
SI_Tice2, SI_Qice1, and SI_Qice2.

Is this normal-known behavior or is this a bug?
