0ba3967dec Mart*0001 Seaice-only verification experiment in idealized periodic channel with
                0002 ice thickness distribution (otherwise very similar to
                0003 offline_exf_seaice): CPP-flag SEAICE_ITD is defined
                0004 -----------------------------------------------------------------
                0005 
                0006 1) main forward experiment (code, input)
                0007 
                0008   Re-entrant zonally periodic channel (80x42 grid points) with just level (Nr=1)
                0009    uniform resolution (5.km, 10m), solid Southern boundary with triangular shape
                0010    coastline ("bathy_3c.bin")
                0011 
                0012   Use seaice (dynamics & thermodynamics from pkg/seaice) with EXF (see data.pkg)
                0013    with initial ice thickness ranging from nearly 0 m in the "south"
                0014    to over 7 m in the "north"(but no snow)
                0015    (HeffFile  = 'heff_quartic.bin', in "input/data.seaice")
                0016   Initial seaice concentration is 100 % everywhere
                0017    (AreaFile='const100.bin', in "input/data.seaice")
                0018   and seaice is initially at rest.
                0019 
                0020   Ridging is computed according to Thorndyke et al (1975) and Hibler
                0021   (1980). Ice strength P is computed following Rothrock (1975)
                0022 
                0023   At runtime turn off time-stepping in 'data', PARM01, using:
                0024     momStepping  = .FALSE.,
                0025     saltStepping = .FALSE.,
                0026     tempAdvection=.FALSE.,
                0027 
                0028  Forcing:
                0029   None of the forcing vary with time; the input files have been
                0030    generated using the python script "input/gendata.py".
                0031   SST relaxation field is uniform in X, parabolic function of Y with
                0032    maximum close to Southern boundary.
                0033 
                0034   Atmospheric air temp is uniform in Y, and only vary with X (~sin(2.pi.x/Lx))
                0035    with an amplitude of 4.K ('tair_4x.bin');
                0036   Uses constant Relative Humidity (70%, file 'qa70_4x.bin')
                0037   constant and uniform downward shortwave (100.W/m2, 'dsw_100.bin'),
                0038                        downward longwave (250.W/m^2, 'dlw_250.bin'),
                0039                        zonal wind (10.m/s, 'windx.bin'),
                0040   no meridional wind, no precip.
                0041 
                0042   Ocean surface currents comes from a 3 levels ocean-only run (without seaice)
                0043    using the same wind forcing (uVel_3c0.bin, vVel_3c0.bin) (matlab script:
                0044   "input/getdata.m")
                0045 
                0046 2) other (secondary) experiments (with the same executable)
                0047 
                0048  a) input.lipscomb07: seaice-dynamics only with ridging scheme
                0049     following Lipscomb et al (2007); uses same forcing as main forward 
                0050     experiment, without thermodynamic forcing
                0051     (usePW79thermodynamics=.FALSE., SEAICEpartFunc = 1, SEAICEredistFunc = 1,
                0052     in input.dyn_lsr/data.seaice).
                0053 
                0054  b) input.thermo: seaice-dynamics and thermodynamics with ridging, but
                0055     ice strength is computed following Hibler (1979): 
                0056     P = 27.5e4*(h*c)*exp(-20*(1-c)) 
                0057
