Routines incorporating the effects of marine ice (sea-ice and icebergs) into the ocean model dynamics and thermodynamics.

Global Functions

subroutine, public iceberg_forces(
    G G,
    forces forces,
    use_ice_shelf use_ice_shelf,
    sfc_state sfc_state,
    time_step time_step,
    CS CS
    )

add_berg_flux_to_shelf adds rigidity and ice-area coverage due to icebergs to the forces type fields, and adds ice-areal coverage and modifies various thermodynamic fluxes due to the presence of icebergs.

Parameters:

g	The ocean’s grid structure
forces	A structure with the driving mechanical forces
sfc_state	A structure containing fields that describe the surface state of the ocean.
use_ice_shelf	If true, this configuration uses ice shelves.
time_step	The coupling time step [s].
cs	Pointer to the control structure for MOM_marine_ice

subroutine, public iceberg_fluxes(
    G G,
    fluxes fluxes,
    use_ice_shelf use_ice_shelf,
    sfc_state sfc_state,
    time_step time_step,
    CS CS
    )

iceberg_fluxes adds ice-area-coverage and modifies various thermodynamic fluxes due to the presence of icebergs.

Parameters:

g	The ocean’s grid structure
fluxes	A structure with pointers to themodynamic, tracer and mass exchange forcing fields
sfc_state	A structure containing fields that describe the surface state of the ocean.
use_ice_shelf	If true, this configuration uses ice shelves.
time_step	The coupling time step [s].
cs	Pointer to the control structure for MOM_marine_ice

subroutine, public marine_ice_init(
    Time Time,
    G G,
    param_file param_file,
    diag diag,
    CS CS
    )

Initialize control structure for MOM_marine_ice.

Parameters:

time	Current model time
g	Ocean grid structure
param_file	Runtime parameter handles
diag	Diagnostics control structure
cs	Pointer to the control structure for MOM_marine_ice
