The dilution/concentration effect due to water exchange at the surface is supposedly accounted for by using the ""true layer thickness"" in the non-linear free surface case. However, it is emp that is used for the layer thickness computation not emps. Therefore the contribution due to the formation/melting of sea-ice and any SSS restoration that is not converted to a freshwater flux (nn_sssr=1) will be lost. This omission will eventually be corrected by the reformulation of the heat and mass fluxes underway in ticket #665. Until that work is complete, the missing trend can be added by replacing line 136: zsa = 0.0e0 with: zsa = (emps(ji,jj) - emp(ji,jj)) * zsrau * sn(ji,jj,1) * zse3t " Bug closed low OCE v3.2 fixed
