[MITgcm-devel] seaice verification experiments

Hi Patrick and other,

I would like to make 2 changes:
1) I was going to switch back the dynamics in global_ocean.cs32x15/input_ad.seaice:
a) the code now allows to have an other experiment (input_ad.seaice_dynmix)
  with the dynmics off in the AD mode, while keeping the dynamics on in
  input_ad.seaice test; this was not the case when dynmics was turned off
  in input_ad.seaice.
b) currently, we have only 1 experiment (lab_sea/input_ad) which tests
  the adjoint of the seaice (lsr) dynamics, and it's with legacy code, 
  so would be better to have a 2nd one. On the other hand, we already have 
  few AD tests for seaice thermodynamics, including some without dynamics.

2) I would like also to switch the test "compiling the B-grid code"
  from offline_exf_seaice  (B-grid -> C-grid)
  to   1D_ocean_ice_column (C-grid -> B-grid)
  in preparation for adding an offline seaice-dynamics test to
  offline_exf_seaice.

Do you agreee with these 2 modifs ?

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
