Landfast ice

#1 Unread post by kate »

I was recently made aware of a paper by Lemieux et al. (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1 ... 8/abstract) describing a way to model landfast ice along coasts. I have included it with the switch ICE_LANDFAST. Note that it requires three new parameters in ice.in - these parameters are described in the paper.

Dear Kate,

I have started using your ice module for the last 2 months.
I am wondering if there is a mistake in how the landfast is written

It is currently written as followed:
#ifdef ICE_LANDFAST
...
alfa = alfa + udrag
...
#endif

should not it be ?:
#ifdef ICE_LANDFAST
...
alfa = alfa + dte(ng)*rhoice(ng)*udrag
...
#endif

(same for vdrag)


regards,
Vincent

You may well be right, but as I said elsewhere, I'm no longer maintaining that code.
