Context
In a box configuration with a uniform T/S initialisation (-1.9 and 34.4) without any forcing except, the melt rate is different along the boundary and it should not.
Analysis
The reason is that the masked cell are taking into account for the interpolation of sst at the iceberg location.
This is also the case for many other variables:
- the iceberg along the coastline feel a warmer/colder sst depending of the sign of the local sst.
- the interpolation of the ssh is creating an artificial slope toward the coastline or offshore depending of the sign of the local ssh.
- the atmospheric stress is masked, so value on land is not correct.
- The ice thickness and concentration over land is also used during interpolation.
- For the velocity (ocean and ice), the situation is more complex as 0 at a U/V point along the coastline is a valid data (no slip case). The suggested change will not fix the known issue of slip condition of icebergs. ICB feel 0 velocity at the coast or in land.
Recommendation
Change suggested in icb_utl_bilin_h:
- Add an argument about the use of land value during the interpolation (use it or not in the interpolation)
- Change accordingly the weight computation
A branch will be created for review before committing the fix to the trunk.
It affect the trunk and NEMO_4.0

Illustration of the issue with a GYRE configuration with uniform T/S, calving and no forcing except a uniform precipitation to drive a positive flat ssh => icb melt should be uniform. Simulation length : 5d
