[MITgcm-support] SHELFICE Package: stability parameter

[Martin Losch]

Hi Josephine,

I am not aware of any attemps, but there’s a code sketch that is commented out (see around lines 482-484 in shelfice_thermodynamics.F).

The H+J99 paper does not describe, how to evaluate the Obukhov length Lo, but otherwise is should be straightforward to implement this (f=fCori(i,j,bi,bj), Rc=0.2, zetaN=0.052 according to table1 in H+J99).
