Merge branch 'akturner/seaice/prescribed_ice_bug_2' into seaice/develop

 

Completed 4 mpas-seaice testsuites which contrast the new grazing implementation and the base code, seaice/develop: 1) testsuite.standard_bgc.xml, 2) testsuite.standard_physics.xml, 3) testsuite.aerosol_shortwave.xml, and 4) testsuite.prescribed_ice.xml. As expected, only the regression test for the standard_bgc configuration failed. All other tests pass. The results of each testsuite are copied below.

 

1. Testing MPAS-Seaice: Standard BGC

The first series of tests use the standard_bgc namelist on the QU240km grid. As expected, the regression test failed but restartability and parallelism passed.

2. Testing MPAS-Seaice: Standard Physics

This testsuite uses the standard physics with no BGC active on the QU120km grid. All tests passed.

3. Testing MPAS-Seaice: aerosols and shortwave

This test activates the black carbon and dust aerosol scheme with shortwave feedbacks. All tests pass.
