north fold (MPP case) of I-point with F-pivot fails (e.g. ORCA05 + LIM2_VP)

Description

Context

Sea ice fields in ORCA05 with LIM2_VP show corrupted values along the north fold. It is clearly visible, for example, in the sea ice velocity.

Analysis

ORCA05 uses a F-pivot (jperio=6) and LIM2_VP sea ice velocity points reside on the I-grid.

Routine mpp_lbc_nfd_2d() in lbcnfd.F90 uses the wrong table (pt2dr(ji,ijpjm1)) to interpolate the I-point on the F-folding line:

SUBROUTINE mpp_lbc_nfd_2d( pt2dl, pt2dr, cd_type, psgn )
!...
      SELECT CASE ( npolj )
      !...
      CASE ( 5, 6 )                        ! *  North fold  F-point pivot
          SELECT CASE ( cd_type )
          !...
          CASE ( 'I' )                                  ! ice U-V point (I-point)
              DO ji = startloop , endloop
                  ijt = jpiglo - ji - nimpp - nfiimpp(isendto(1),jpnj) + 4
                  pt2dl(ji,ijpj)= 0.5 * (pt2dr(ji,ijpjm1) + psgn * pt2dr(ijt,ijpjm1))    ! <------- BUG
               END DO
          !...

Fix

The local table pt2dl(ji,ijpjm1) should be used in mpp_lbc_nfd_2d() in this case:

                  pt2dl(ji,ijpj)= 0.5 * (pt2dl(ji,ijpjm1) + psgn * pt2dr(ijt,ijpjm1))    ! <------- FIX

In revision 7474:

the table has been changed from the remote (pt2tr) to the local (pt2tl) one, in the following cases:
