With pressure replacement, stagnant ice tends to be pushed and piled up in corners and bays, because the replacement pressure (so the ice strength) reduces dramaticall for small strain rates (when nothing is moving anymore).<br><br>other than that, I would probably try the option “OBCS_SEAICE_COMPUTE_UVICE”. This is only implemented for OBCS_UVICE_OLD, but you can easily transfer that implementation of a Neumann boundary conditions (du/dn = 0 across the boundary) from seaice_adjust_uvice.F to seaice_apply_uvice.F In this way, the ice velocities will be determined only by forcing in the interior. <br><br>But you should maybe first check, if you have excessive flux of ice over your boundaries.
