For resolution of issues required for moving the mesh cap from the dev/ufs-weather-model branch of WW3 to the develop branch, testing of the ww3 mesh cap with ice-wave coupling enabled is required. This testing will be carried out in collaboration w/ NCAR.
For wave-ice coupling, the wave model needs to export the wave elevation spectrum and the ice model needs to export both the sea ice thickness and floe diameter. These fields can be added to esmFieldsExchange_nems even when ice-wave coupling is not active.
