Remove critical passages from `landIceFracObserved` #846

Closed xylar closed 1 month ago

xylar commented 1 month ago

We need to do this before computing landIceMask. Otherwise, critical passages cannot be used to open up channels of open ocean through areas covered by (grounded) land ice.

Checklist

Testing

I tested this in conjunction with #807 and https://github.com/MPAS-Dev/geometric_features/pull/203. I am (finally!) able to get the desired behavior close to the Carroll Inlet.

On the culled mesh, here is landIceFracObserved: landIceFracObs

And here is landIceMask: landIceMask

See #844 for details on how it looked without the critical passage.

@darincomeau, could you give this a quick look? Do we finally have something an Stange that we can live with?

darincomeau commented 1 month ago

@xylar yes, that looks good!

xylar commented 1 month ago

Thanks @darincomeau!

What got missed here is also setting landIcePressure to zero in these critical passages.
