                0004 Package ``seaice'' provides a dynamic and thermodynamic interactive sea-ice
867d695d51 Chri*0005 model.  Sea-ice model thermodynamics are based on Hibler (see Modeling a Variable Thickness Sea-Ice Cover, Hibler, Monthly Weather Review, 1980), 
                0006 that is, a 2-category model that simulates ice thickness and concentration.  
                0007 Snow is simulated as per Zhang et al. (see Arctic ice-ocean modeling with
                0008 and without climate restoring, Zhang et. al, Journal of Physical Oceanography,
                0009 1998).  
                0010 Sea-ice dynamics is based
                0011 on a viscous-plastic model solved using the alternating-direction-implicit (ADI) method of
                0012 Zhang and Rothrock (see Modeling Arctic Sea Ice with an Efficient Plastic 
                0013 Solution, Zhang and Rothrock, Journal of Geophysical Research, 2000).
