Description

CICE6.3.1 is a minor update of CICE6.3.0 from September, 2021. It is released with Icepack1.3.1. This update includes several minor changes including a bug fix that led to errors in multi-processor runs with advection="none". This version also updates a few aspects of the dynamics implementation, upgrades the OpenMP performance, updates the atmbndy options associated with a change in Icepack1.3.1, and updates several other technical features.

Major Changes

  • None 

Bug fixes

  • Fix multi-pe advection bug setting, advection=none was not working on multiple pes. #664

Enhancements

  • Implementation of plastic potential for VP and EVP. #649
  • Refactor EVP and VP, express rheology term as a function of viscous coefficients, update documentation #639, #647. Note: This changes answers at roundoff level. 
  • Update calls to seabed stress to improve efficiency #673
  • Deprecate gx1 CORE forcing option #643
  • Update OpenMP implementation to debug and improve performance. #680, #693. Note: May require setting "setenv OMP_STACKSIZE 64M" or similar in machine env file
  • Update PIO fill value on restart #675
  • Update namelist reading to allow namelist groups to be read in any order #671, #677
  • Update Makefile to improve dependency logic #667
  • Update Icepack #658 #691 Note: changes results when formdrag is applied and fbot_xfer_type == 'Cdn_ocn'
  • Update testing scripts #644, #658, #665, #664, #678
  • Update NUOPC/CMEPS coupling interface to add new snow features and more #668, #670
  • Update DMI coupling interface to add new snow features #641
  • Refactor/reduce calls to calc_ffrac in eap solver #638
  • Update atmbndy input to support similarity (aka default), constant, and mixed options, update documentation #633. 
  • Zero out eap variables on land consistently #632
  • Update history implementation allocation checks #631
  • Port to Narwhal #678

Documentation

  • Update version and copyright date #691
  • Update documentation #644, #652, #657
  • Update README.md to reflect change of default branch name from master to main in Github repository.
