Hi Martin,
I looked to where OCEAN_drag is used in pkg/seaice:
In the C-grid code, assuming winds are provided, OCEAN_drag is
used only when SEAICE_EXTERNAL_FLUXES is undef (which make sense
to me, otherwise, EXF compute the wind-stress over open water).
But in the B-grid code, in dynsolver.F after line 135
> C now ice surface stress
it looks like OCEAN_drag has some effect on the wind-stress
over seaice (since it's area weighted). Is it intentional ?
Cheers,
Jean-Michel
