grid files used by CICE contain incorrect rotation angle #2228

Closed DeniseWorthen closed 1 week ago

Description

All applications using CICE use a resolution-dependent fixed file grid_cice_NEMS_mx${OCNRES}.nc to define the CICE grid. This file contains the vector rotation angle on corners (Bu) grid points. This field is incorrect. See Issue https://github.com/ufs-community/UFS_UTILS/issues/921 for a complete description. The current rotation angle at 1/4 deg have a maximum angular error of ~20deg.

A new input-data directory is required to update the required files.
