[MITgcm-devel] Heat flux diagnostics with pkg/seaice

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Jean-Michel, I have added SIatmQnt, which I think is what you were  
looking for.

One question I have about SIatmFW is whether we should exclude runoff  
from it
since it is not really an atmospheric freshwater flux?

An, I have also added your diagnostics SIqneto, SIqneti, SIyneg, and  
SIfice,
but please note that different from what you had done, SIqneto and  
SIqneti
are multiplied by (1-AREA) and by AREA, respectively, so you don't have
to multiply these offline for your budget computations.
