List of ECCO2 cubed-sphere sensitivity experiments: Initial Conditions

cube11 : 1992-2002, same as cube09 but with SEAICE_freeze = -1.8.

cube12 : 1992-2003, same as cube11 but started from end of 2002 cube11 and viscC4Leith=0.2.
  cube12 crashed in 1999, so starting in 1999 switched to:
  viscA4GridMin=3.e-4,
  viscA4GridMax=4.e-3,
  viscC4Leith=0.2,

cube16 : 1992-2003 same as cube15 but with reduced ocean/water drag.
      SEAICE_strength = 3.20e4
      SEAICE_drag = 0.002
      OCEAN_drag = 0.0005
      SEAICE_waterDrag = 2.75
      fails in 2003, day 120, time step 297864

cube18 : 1992-2003 same as cube15 but with SEAICE_TEST_ICE_STRESS_1 and with reduced SEAICE_drag and ocean/water drag.
      SEAICE_strength = 3.20e4
      SEAICE_drag = 0.0002
      OCEAN_drag = 0.0002
      SEAICE_waterDrag = 1

cube19 : 1992-2003 same as cube16 but with further reduced ocean/water drag.
      SEAICE_strength = 3.20e4
      SEAICE_drag = 0.002
      OCEAN_drag = 0.0002
      SEAICE_waterDrag = 1

cube20 : 1992-2003 same as cube16 but starting from Levitus.
      SEAICE_strength = 3.20e4
      SEAICE_drag = 0.002
      OCEAN_drag = 0.0005
      SEAICE_waterDrag = 2.75

cube21 : 1992-2004 same as cube20 but starting from end of cube20.
      SEAICE_strength = 3.20e4
      SEAICE_drag = 0.002
      OCEAN_drag = 0.0005
      SEAICE_waterDrag = 2.75

cube22 : 1992-2004 same as cube19 but starting from end of cube19 and with eddy diagnostics turned on.
      SEAICE_strength = 3.20e4
      SEAICE_drag = 0.002
      OCEAN_drag = 0.0002
      SEAICE_waterDrag = 1

cube37 : 1992-2006 same as cube36 (cube31 with June 10, 2006 code) but with #define SEAICE_CGRID and with default SEAICEadvScheme undefined.
      in SEAICE_OPTIONS.h, #define SEAICE_CGRID
      in data.seaice, # SEAICEadvScheme = 33 (because there was a bug with implementation of SEAICEadvScheme=33 on CGRID)
      An noted that following time steps have bad AREAtave, also SST, and possibly other fields:
      0000054936 %02-Feb-1994 0000055008 %03-Feb-1994 0000055080 %04-Feb-1994

cube38 : 1992-2002 same as cube37 but starting from WOCE climatology WGHC_(T/S)_510x6x510.bin

cube49 : 1992-2002 first blend integration, includes monthly Arctic Ocean runoff and latest growth.F bug fixes but not snow advection

cube48 : 1992-2002 same as cube49 but with more realistic initial sea-ice conditions taken from a PSC estimate (but data.kpp same as cube47).

cube71 : same as cube66 but with useGMRedi=.FALSE.
      hydrogThetaFile='PHC_THETA_JAN_510x6x510x50.bin'

cube73 : same as cube71 but initialized on January 1, 1989.

cube74 : same as cube71 but initialized on January 1, 1989 from WGHC-January climatology, where seasonal cycle is from WOA01.

cube76 : same as cube77 but 1979-2006 integration

cube77 : same as cube75 but with SEAICE_SALINITY defined SEAICE_salinity = 0.3, and with era40_ecmwf_blend/cube59_GPCP forcing

cube78 : blend #3
