      !! ** Purpose :   determines variations of ice and snow thicknesses.
      !!
      !! ** Method  :   Ice/Snow surface melting arises from imbalance in surface fluxes
      !!              Bottom accretion/ablation arises from flux budget
      !!              Snow thickness can increase by precipitation and decrease by sublimation
      !!              If snow load excesses Archmiede limit, snow-ice is formed by
      !!              the flooding of sea-water in the snow
      !!
      !!                 1) Compute available flux of heat for surface ablation
      !!                 2) Compute snow and sea ice enthalpies
      !!                 3) Surface ablation and sublimation
      !!                 4) Bottom accretion/ablation
      !!                 5) Case of Total ablation

      ! Snow accumulation in one thermodynamic time step

      ! if snow fall was uniform, a fraction (1-at_i) would fall into leads

      ! and a greater fraction (1-at_i)^beta of the total mass of snow 
      ! (beta < 1) falls in leads.
      ! In reality, beta depends on wind speed, 
      ! and should decrease with increasing wind speed but here, it is 
      ! considered as a constant. an average value is 0.66
