[MITgcm-support] Sea ice

[Martin Losch]

Hi Peter Jan,

the sea-ice pkg is well tested and runs routinely in many  
applications (a good start are the experiments that Patrick named).

The combination of seaice and thsice is not so well tuned (in terms  
of results), but it compiles and runs easily (it's tested every day),  
see <verification/global_cs.32x15> and in particular the combination  
of input.icedyn and input (in that order) for an example.

I don't know if I can recommend the combined use of thsice/seaice,  
unless you are willing to do a lot of parameter tuning (and believe  
me, there are quite a few parameters, so that you won't get away with  
16 ensemble members this time (o: ). If you want to do the tuning,  
we'd like to hear about your experience and a good set of parameters  
for the combination of both packages.

Martin
