4.4. Icepack

The CICE model calls the Icepack columnphysics source code. The Icepack model is documented separately, see https://github.com/cice-consortium/icepack.

More specifically, the CICE model uses methods defined in icepack_intfc.F90. It uses the init, query, and write methods to set, get, and document icepack values. And it follows the icepack_warnings methodology where icepack_warnings_aborted is checked and icepack_warnings_print is called after every call to an icepack method. It does not directly “use” icepack data and access icepack data only thru interfaces.
