Do we need to test and merge quickly and get this onto the E3SM Icepack branch?
Do you want me to do any testing on cheyenne or are you comfortable from your testing everything is bit-for-bit and working? That looks OK to me, but happy to do more.
Yes, quickly please. It would be great if you can launch a quick test on cheyenne, but I don't expect any issues with these changes.
I just fired up a test suite on cheyenne. Will approve and merge the PR after that, then create a PR back to E3SM Icepack cice-consortium/E3SM-icepack-initial-integration that @eclare108213 can merge there.

How much do the PR code changes differ from the unmodified code?
Does this PR create or have dependencies on CICE or any other models?
Does this PR add any new test cases?
Is the documentation being updated? ("Documentation" includes information on the wiki or in the .rst files from doc/source/, which are used to create the online technical docs at https://readthedocs.org/projects/cice-consortium-cice/.)

Define new parameter,
tscale_pnd_drain
, that sets the timescale (in days) for macroscopic drainage when using mushy thermodynamics. This parameterization is described in Turner and Hunke 2015 (eqn 47). It contributes to flushing along with gravity drainage, and therefore is not the timescale for flushing overall.tscale_pnd_drain
= 1 /lambda_pond
in icepack_therm_mushy.F90.Note:
tscale_pnd_drain
is not (yet) a namelist parameter, but it is now available in parameters for drivers to set their own values. This is needed for E3SM.Change the default value of
dpscale
(scaling factor for meltpond flushing with BL99 thermo) to 1.e-3 in the code. This is the value used in icepack_in and all of our tests.Clarify definition of
dpscale
in the code and documentation -dpscale
alters the timescale for drainage but is only a unitless scaling factor.Fix enthalpy units in code comments. Closes #455 (CICE does not suffer from this issue).
