[MITgcm-support] ice package in coupled atmosphere ocean tutorial (cpl_aim+ocn)

[Krishnakumar Rajagopalan]

Hi All,

In the coupled atmosphere ocean tutorial (cpl_aim+ocn), the ice package(thsice) is not included in data.pkg in /input_ocn or packages.conf in /code_ocn. Does this mean that the ocean solver does not interact with the ice (although the atmospheric solver does since thsice package is present in /input_atm/data.pkg and /code_atm/packages.conf). After running the coupled model for a few years, the temperature in the second layer of the ocean is seen to be as low as  -5 deg. This appears to be low and unrealistic. I was wondering if someone can give a few pointers on the coupling between ice, ocean and atmosphere. 

Thanks in advance 

Best regards

Krishnakumar
