[MITgcm-devel] status

Thu Feb 24 02:45:06 EST 2011

Patrick, status as of now is:

(i) we have reverted to v1.111 as per your suggested code compromise

(ii) we have left Gael's runtime flag SEAICEareaFormula in code for future use but it is currently inactive
     instead we have temporarily reverted back to CPP option SEAICE_OCN_MELT_ACT_ON_AREA

(iii) we have verified that code satisfies exactly all relevant verification experiments as well as Ian's contrib tests

(iv) ifdefed code blocks are now fully consistent with Ian's description in
MITgcm_contrib/ifenty/Fenty_seaice_thermo_code_merge/documentation/Seaice_Growth_Forward_and_Adjoint_comparisons.pdf

(v) Ian and Pierre have discussed best location and formulation for ice age tracer

What we plan to do tomorrow is:

(i) add abridged (but meaningful) versions of Ian's lab_sea and 1D test experiments to verification so that we can freeze
    Ian's changes in main branch - my hope is that Ian will be allowed to be gatekeeper for any future changes, bug fixes,
    and code merges that break these two verification experiments.

(ii) modify ice-age tracer code as per item (v) above

What will be left to do at a later time is to implement more generic ice age tracer capability that can integrate
forward multiple different kinds of ice age and other arbitrary sea ice quantities.  Is your check-in below
in preparation for a generic ice-tracer capability?
