CICE6.3.0 is a major update of CICE6.2.0 from April, 2021. This update includes a significant upgrade to the snow physics in CICE and Icepack. In addition, the 1D evp solver is now fully validated, several fixes have been made to the history files, the ice/ocean drag can be computed from the under-ice roughness, and staggered atmospheric levels are supported in coupling. By default, the new snow physics is turned off, so the default results are similar to CICE6.2.0. Major Changes advanced snow physics #621 evp 1d solver is now validated and officially supported #568 Bug fixes fix single/double precision history issues in netcdf and pio2 #628 history time axis, time_beg and time_end values #624 error in QC runs related to cycling forcing data and consistency with leap years #624 1x1 and 2x2 blocksize error #618 history and restart frequency #610 array bounds and decomposition errors #602 Enhancements optionally compute dragio using under-ice roughness length #612 support for staggered atmospheric levels #603 ...
