[MITgcm-devel] obcs_seaice_sponge.F

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Dimitris,

Just a comment regarding ALLOW_OBCS_SPONGE : it's no longer really 
maintained, and generally we advise users to switch to pkg/rbcs.
Now with this new feature for obcs+seaice, what should I tell to new
users ? Is there a plan to work on fixing the few issues of 
the non seaice ALLOW_OBCS_SPONGE ?

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
