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

[Martin Losch]

Hi,

I may add that the open boundary conditions package (obcs) does not  
work with seaice. You can turn it on (it's compiled in the  
verifcation/lab_sea experiment, but not turned), but sea-ice will  
behave along open boundaries as if the boundaries are periodic (or  
closed, depending on your topography along the opposite boundary).
