PR checklist

apcraig commented 1 year ago

This is a draft because we should discuss whether these changes are correct and whether this is what we want to do. Otherwise, I think these changes are working.

dabail10 commented 1 year ago

I have to test this out in CESM.

After four years, the answers are definitely different. I want to run it longer to see if it is "climate" changing.

eclare108213 commented 1 year ago

I wouldn't be surprised if these mods are "climate changing" when tr_aero=T and modal_aero=F, when comparing CICE6 before/after this PR. Is that what you're testing @dabail10?

These are bugs in CICE6 that were not present in CICE5, and should be fixed regardless of whether they are deemed to be climate changing, right away. If this modified code produces reasonable-looking answers, then I think we should merge it and keep moving forward. More careful comparisons with CICE5 might be needed to understand differences between the code versions, but let's at least get the obvious bugs fixed ASAP. We may need to make further modifications later, as we continue the BGC merge. Is this plan okay with those of you reading this thread?

apcraig commented 1 year ago

@eclare108213, I agree that these things need to be fixed. We should try to understand the impact of the bug and document that, but that could be done over days/weeks as needed.

eclare108213 commented 1 year ago

@dabail10 How are your runs going? I'd like to merge this one.

dabail10 commented 1 year ago

I have 20 years of both. Here are some diagnostics:

Basically I can't really tell as it is only 20 years, but it does not appear to be climate changing. I will run these out for 100 years.

Can we merge while we continue to assess?

dabail10 commented 1 year ago

I would say go ahead.
