ECCO2

List of ECCO2 cubed-sphere sensitivity experiments: Sea Ice Model Parameters.

cube09 : 1992-2002, same as cube06 but with Leith biharmonic viscosity: viscC4Leith=0.1.

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.

cube13 : 1992-2003, same as cube12 but all albedos increased by 0.1.

cube15 : 1992-2004 same as cube13 but with increased p* (lou:/u/menemenl/cube/cube15).

cube16 : 1992-2003 same as cube15 but with reduced ocean/water drag
