[MITgcm-support] seaice model

[Martin Losch]

Jinlun,

[sorry about the last email (to the mitgcm-support). It pays to be able 
to handle one's own mail tools properly, so that one does not mix-up 
delete and send button, I wonder how many emails I lost that way (o:]

does this mean, that the seaice package can not be used in 
configurations with a cartesian grid?
Looking at the code this appears to be the case, doesn't it? This is 
still another point that would make it worth to think about using the 
MITgcm-specific grid parameters, because there the different 
configurations are already accounted for, aren't they??????
