[MITgcm-support] the simulation of sea ice and the coast sea

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Not sure if you received a response.  Yes sea ice obcs is tricky. 
There is a verification experiment: MITgcm/verification/seaice_obcs
Another checked-in example is here: MITgcm_contrib/MPMice/beaufort

There is a number of MITgcm users that have accumulated quite a bit
of experience in making seaice obcs work, including the work published here:
http://ecco2.org/manuscripts/2013/Khazendar2013.pdf <http://ecco2.org/manuscripts/2013/Khazendar2013.pdf>
http://ecco2.org/manuscripts/2012/Miller2012.pdf <http://ecco2.org/manuscripts/2012/Miller2012.pdf>
http://ecco2.org/manuscripts/2012/Schodlok2012.pdf <http://ecco2.org/manuscripts/2012/Schodlok2012.pdf>

But to my knowledge it remains a tricky problem.  For ice going out of domain,
there is no problem.  But inconsistencies between the sea ice that you try to push
into the domain and the transport of sea ice volume inside your domain can cause
artifacts at the boundaries.

> Now, we are focused on the simulation of physical environment. As we known, it’s very hard work to simulate a properly state for sea ice and the sea ice are
> very sensible to its OBCS. So, did anyone have done some regional OBCS experiments with sea ice module, and any suggestions and advices are great help
> to me. Our experiments are also restricted in a small region, and we also want to know the ability of the MITGCM on coast sea. Does anyone run similar
> experiment on coast sea before, and we could have a discussion.
