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 :ref:`Frazil Ice Formation<Frazil_Ice_1section_frazil>`, which it then passes to the sea-ice model, expecting to get back the rejected brine or melted fresh water in return.
