[cam-users] how to use the prescribed sea ice concentrations in CCM3

[Qiaozhen Mu]

Dear all hands,

I would like to ask you a question about the sea ice concentrations in CCM3.6 or 
CCM3.10. If I don't want to use the SLAB ocean model, how can I use the 
prescribed sea ice concentrations in CCM? I have read the description and the 
source codes for a long time but I failed to find a clue. I think in the model, 
it read the ORO from the initial conditions at NSTEP=0, and then determines the 
next ORO values depending on the SST. I can't find where the sea ice 
concentrations are mentioned in the model. Could you please tell me if you know 
this? Thanks for any help in advance.

Best regards,
Qiaozhen
