CICE6.5.1 is a minor update from CICE6.5.0 from October, 2023 and includes Icepack1.4.1. This release has a significant update to the 1D evp solver to make it more robust and improve performance. Another significant change is an update to the options and control of netCDF and PIO output formats including support for chunking and compression thru hdf5. Several history output and diagnostic features have also been added. Finally, the nprocs and max_blocks implementations have been extended. They now support a namelist setting of -1 that will result in an internal calculation for both variables. Major Changes Update the 1D evp solver. This solver compresses the CICE dynamics data to 1D and uses OpenMP to parallelize the dynamics solver. #895 Bug fixes Enhancements Refactor and clean up grid variables in dynamics. #921 Update calculation of uvel and vvel in evp dynamics, remove extra calculations and update documentation. #953 Add vorticity as a diagnostic quantity for B and C grids. #924 Add sndmassdyn and ...
