and especially to contact NEMO project manager if 
the delay on preview (or review) are longer than the 2 weeks expected.

=== Description

Getting the Met Office/HadGEM conductivity-driven coupling methodology (West et al., 2016; Ridley et al., 2018) working correctly with SI3.

West, A. E., McLaren, A. J., Hewitt, H. T., and Best, M. J.: The location of the thermodynamic atmosphere–ice interface in fully coupled models – a case study using JULES and CICE, Geosci. Model Dev., 9, 1125–1141, https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-9-1125-2016, 2016.

Ridley, J. K., Blockley, E. W., Keen, A. B., Rae, J. G. L., West, A. E., and Schroeder, D.: The sea ice model component of HadGEM3-GC3.1, Geosci. Model Dev., 11, 713–723, https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-11-713-2018, 2018.


=== Implementation

Most of the fundamental code changes were made in time for the NEMO 4.0 release. This will be mainly bug fixes and any other changes required for additional functionality (such as correctly using surface temperature for melt-pond evolution).

All changes will be made to either OCE/SBC/sbccpl.F90 or within ICE/


=== Documentation updates

The SI3 documentation will be updated to include details of the Met Office coupling methodology.
