</div>
<div class="">I think that there is (or at least used to be) a potential problem with using rstar when you have thick sea ice - specifically when using rstar together with JMD95Z as the EOS. I don’t remember the details now, but it has to do with spurious
density gradients when rstar surfaces are tilted. Setting selectP_inEOS_Zc=2 should fix the problem. I’ve had a long email conversation about this issue with Jean-Michel at some point. If you want, I can forward that to you.</div>

<div class="" style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px">Thanks for your response. Good to know that rStar should work with cavities. I suppose the differences between rStar and no-rStar could be that the "surf adjustment" the nonlinear free surface scheme is
doing in the absence of rStar, i.e. adding water to the model in regions which violate hFacInf, is changing the tracer properties and/or circulation. I have a few patches of very thick sea ice which are depressing the sea surface and causing those hFacInf
errors. So maybe rStar is actually more accurate than nonlinear free surface without rStar. I am trying a run now with the linear free surface for comparison.</div>

I have once (in the very beginning of this in 2006 or so) tried to use the rStar coordinates as surface (topography) following coordinates for better near surface resolution in the cavities, but because we don’t have a decent formulation for the pressure gradient
for the case of strongly sloping vertical layer interfaces, this leads to too much pressure gradient error.<br class="">

Is it confirmed whether or not they work together?<br class="">
