Correct ssh consistency bounds and error message #1406

Closed mark-petersen closed 7 years ago

mark-petersen commented 7 years ago

Previous code printed an error if sea surface height was beyond two meters, which worked in stand-alone. With the addition of sea ice in ACME, SSH is often depressed up to 5.7m, so this constraint is too tight. This widens error check to 20m and adds a better explanation.

Fixes #1357

Here are a few images from a G case restart file after 10 years, showing why +/- 2m is way too tight. This is why everyone has been seeing these error messages in ACME. screen shot 2017-09-08 at 4 47 31 pm screen shot 2017-09-08 at 4 47 14 pm

I wouldn't normally merge without a review, but considering that this is an easy fix, has been tested by me in MPAS and ACME, has been producing hundreds of annoying error files on every ACME run, and it is 5:30 on a Friday, I just took executive action.
