[MITgcm-devel] seaice code beyond checkoint61j blows for ECCO-GODAE

[Martin Losch]

Hi Patrick,

do you have any further diagnosis for the seaice problem?  
SEAICE_no_slip = true or false (default is false)?

I have a fix for the free slip case, that seems to work for Dimitris,  
and if it works for you I can check it in (I probably should), but  
first I'd like to hear from you about this.

Martin
