Sea Ice Considerations¶

For realistic domains, it is assumed that MOM6 will be run in a coupled mode, such that either the sea-ice model or the coupler will be computing atmospheric bulk fluxes and passing them to the ocean. Likewise, MOM6 can compute the frazil ice formation as described in Frazil Ice Formation, which it then passes to the sea-ice model, expecting to get back the rejected brine or melted fresh water in return.
