[MITgcm-support] How to build a regional ocean and sea ice coupled model for Arctic

Liuyu, to add to Jill's excellent summary:

You don't need to do anything there if you use the high_res_cube setup.  Input
files are on a lat/long grid and are interpolated on the fly onto the cubed sphere.

You use
 usingCartesianGrid=.FALSE.,
 usingSphericalPolarGrid=.FALSE.,
 usingCurvilinearGrid=.TRUE.,
in the "data" file and then define all the dimensions explicitly as in the
high_res_cube example.
