[MITgcm-devel] Add sea ice surface forcing to pkg/seaice

[Martin Losch]

A piece of a tidewater glacier is not sea-ice but an ice-berg, is it? Different structure, different salinity, etc. does it really make sense to add this type of ice to sea-ice, which is a quasi-continuous medium? I am not sure if this a sensible thing to do.
