This PR adjusts parameters for the minimum ice thicknesses and concentrations allowed by Icepack. The changes are based to the discussion in ACCESS-NRI/dev_coupling#45 (comment).
The first change, following @ofa001's recommendation, is to increase the threshold concentration for zapping from
puny
to1.0e-5
, matching the value in CM2.The second change is to move where
hi_min=p2
is set. It was originally set in anif/else
block which was only activated forkitd != 1
. In our current setup, we havekitd = 1
, and so thehi_min
setting didn't come into effect.I haven't replicated the more complex way CM2 sets
aicenmin
, which swaps the value depending on whether the zero-layer scheme is used. I wasn't sure whether copying that would be useful for us or if it would just add unnecessary complexity.More recent versions of Icepack move
hi_min
toicepack_parameters
(and might let it be set by namelist), and so we will likely have to adjust these changes when we update the version.
