In this archive, there is: Two versions of MITgcm checkpoint 67z (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4968496) with modified sea ice packages. The changes are limited to the files "seaice_calc_viscosities.F": The first version with the teardrop and parabolic lens yield curve as described in Zhang and Rothrock (2005) (DOI:10.1029/2004JC002599). It is present in the file "MITgcm/seaice_calc_viscosities_original.F" and copied in "build_ori" folder in "sims" The second with new formulations of teardrop and parabolic lens yield curves (These are slightly modified from the one already present in MITgcm checkpoint 67z). The changes are in the file "MITgcm/pkg/seaice/seaice_calc_viscosities.F" and linked to the folder "build_fix" in "sims". A python "yield_curve.py" script used to compare both versions of the formulation with simulated deformation data. The configuration files for the uniaxial compression experiments that were used to compare both versions of MITgcm above.
