[MITgcm-devel] Seaice wind-stress diagnostics

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Martin and others,

I was looking for a diagnostics of wind-stress over seaice,
but I don't think we currently have one (although there are many
diagnostics available within pkg/seaice, and I sometime get lost there).

Initially, after reading the "description" (from: available_diagnostics.log), 
I thought that these 2 (SIfu,SIfv) would be what I was looking for:
'SEAICE zonal surface wind stress, >0 increases uVel '
'SEAICE merid. surface wind stress, >0 increases vVel'
but there are simply an exact copy  of model main diagnostics: oceTAUX & oceTAUY
(exactly from the same FFIELDS.h arrays fu & fv), i.e., the ocean surface stress 
and not the seaice wind-stress.

It's not very clear to me why we need these duplicate diagnostics,
but if we want to keep SIfu,SIfv, would suggest to change the description 
to avoid confusion.

Also I think it would be useful to have a seaice wind-stress diagnostics
(if it does not already exist ?).

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
