 When PISCES biogeochemical model (\key{top} and \key{pisces}) is also used in the coupled system, 
 the whole carbon cycle is computed by defining \key{cpl\_carbon\_cycle}. In this case, 
-CO$_2$ fluxes are exchanged between the atmosphere and the ice-ocean system.
+CO$_2$ fluxes will be exchanged between the atmosphere and the ice-ocean system (and need to be activated
+in namsbc{\_}cpl).

+The new namelist above allows control of various aspects of the coupling fields (particularly for
+vectors) and now allows for any coupling fields to have multiple sea ice categories (as required by LIM3
+and CICE).  When indicating a multi-category coupling field in namsbc{\_}cpl the number of categories will be
+determined by the number used in the sea ice model.  In some limited cases it may be possible to specify 
+single category coupling fields even when the sea ice model is running with multiple categories - in this
+case the user should examine the code to be sure the assumptions made are satisfactory.  In cases where
+this is definitely not possible the model should abort with an error message.
