Hi David,

Here is the monitor output.

*** ocean monitor (~ 3 model-hours before the execution stops)
(PID.TID 0000.0001) %MON dynstat_eta_max              =   4.3794885028966E-01
(PID.TID 0000.0001) %MON dynstat_eta_min              =  -1.6470044106306E+02
(PID.TID 0000.0001) %MON dynstat_eta_mean             =  -1.2391670181170E+01

*** atmos thsice monitor (~ 15 model-hours before the execution stops)
(PID.TID 0000.0001) %MON thSI_IceH_ave_G              =   5.4363138743973E+01
(PID.TID 0000.0001) %MON thSI_IceH_max_S              =   1.9725741528571E+02
(PID.TID 0000.0001) %MON thSI_IceH_max_N              =   1.9723363538611E+02

I would say that the model stops because sea ice gets very thick (up to ~ 200 m in both hemispheres) over costal areas typified by a shallow bathymetry (see attached maps of ETAN and SI thickness).

Is there any way to solve this ? Do I have to go back to my former model setup, by restricting the maximum sea ice thickness to ~ 10 m, as in the 'cpl_aim+ocn’ verification case ?

Thanks !
Alexandre
