[MITgcm-support] Does the sea ice mass affect the ocean surface pressure?

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

z* is enabled by following parameters in data file:
 select_rStar=2,
 nonlinFreeSurf=4,
http://mitgcm.org/sealion/online_documents/node41.html

the variable that describes 'equivalent sea-water pressure’ is:
 23 |ETAN    |  1 |       |SM      M1|m               |Surface Height Anomaly
