    129=== Description === 
    13  
    1410Revisit the formulation of the fluxes between ocean, ice and atmosphere : an exchange of water (mass exchange) is now explicitly associated with an exchange of heat and salt content. This modification simplifies the implementation of a fully embedded sea-ice. There are several aspects to this work:[[BR]] 
    1511 
     
    18142. To introduce a more symmetric treatment of  the surface trend of temperature and salinity by suppressing the emps (virtual flux due to concentration/dilution effects of freezing and melting) in favour of a salt flux array (sfx) such that, for the linear free surface, in all cases (levitating vs embedded sea-ice; surface restoring vs free running) the surface trend is expressed as:[[BR]] 
    1915 
    20  
    21  
    2216{{{ 
    2317dT = .... qns/(rau0*Cp*e3t) + emp*Tn/(e3t*rau0) 
     
    2519dS = .... sfx/(rau0*e3t)        + emp*Sn/(rau0*e3t) 
    2620}}} 
    27  
    2821where sfx contains only the salt flux due to freezing and melting. In the non-linear free surface case there is no concentration/dilution effect because mass is explicitly exchanged so the trends become: 
    2922 
     
    3225dS = .... sfx/(rau0*e3t)         
    3326}}} 
    34

    6349This update is the NOCS.4 task (Revisit of mass and salt fluxes) due by 2nd July 2010 
    6450 
    65  
    6651The main modifications concern OPA, LIM2 and LIM3. They are: 
    6752 
    68 ==== (0) stylistic modification    ==== 
    69  
    70    style changes only  have been put in '''revision 1855'''.  
    71  
    72    Nevertheless we have return back to the original revision 1850 from which we start from the trunk. The style changes we be re-added at the end of the development, after the testing phase. 
    73  
    74    The following is thus done directly from the trunk. 
    75  
    76  
    77 ====  (1) heat content of Freezing/Melting ice ====  
    78  
    79    In LIM2 only, the computation of the heat content of F/M ice is added (this is already done in LIM3 which is based on internal enrgy conservation, like CICE). The changes exactly mirror the changes introduced at NOCS in NEMO v3.0 when implementing first the sea-ice embedment. The basic idea is to reference at rt0 all the mass exchanges between ice and ocean.  
    80  
    81    NB: since emps becomes the salt flux, it is generally zero except with the salt exchange at the ocean-ice interface and when a SSS restoring in salinity is used (not when a equivalent freshwater flux formulation is used for the SSS restoring). Therefore emps done not appear anymore in all the sbc routine,. It is only set to zero in sbc_init, set to the ice-ocean salt flux in limsbc(_2), and modified in sbcssr if SSS retoring is used. 
    82

    84  
    85       • '''ice_2.F90''' : add arrays to describe the heat content associated with both snow and ice mass changes and also change the name of the mass changes. Thus the following lines :

    770    • LIM-3 needs the air temperature ...  This is related to the heat content change when Melting the fallen snow.  Think how to take this in a different way, so that in coupled mode it works !

    774    • Philosophical change: in near future it appears that the use of key_vvl should be replaced by key_linssh. In other words, the defaut option of NEMO will be a non-linear free surface (and thus variable volume for the model levels). This has to be discussed prior to its implementation. 
    775  
    776    • In the same idea : the embedded sea-ice should become the defaut case, with in option the 2 levitating cases. A test should then force a levitating sea-ice if key_linssh defined 
    777  
    778    • Idea for LIM-3 optimisation : instead of 2D => 1D transformation, is it possible to introduce a 3D (including ice categories) => 1D transformation. Gain: longer vector so clear in vector computer, less obvious on scalar one, except that the limthd... will become 1 gigantic done loop => better also for scalar.
