Jean-Michel and Gael, as requested I have changed the pkg/frazil forcing terms
from K/s to W/m^2. Three questions:
1) Which non-sea-ice verification experiment should I modify to test pkg/frazil
2) Since K/s units can be problematic, as you explained, because of time-varying drF,
shouldn't we replace K/s with W/m^2 in mypackage so as to discourage the use
of K/s when folks use mypackage as a template to build new packages?
3) For temperature forcing units we also at times use r_unit*Kelvin/s rather that W/m^2.
Is there a reason, other than historic, to use r_unit*Kelvin/s rather that W/m^2?
Cheers, Dimitris
