Ice Model Input Data Files:

Only input files that are used by current versions of the CCSM sea ice
component model on supported grids are in this directory.  Backups of
these files and copies of outdated files can be found on the NCAR MSS at

/CCSM/inputdata/ice/cice/$GRID

The MSS directory was created on 05 Feb 02, any files added to or
deleted from this directory should be saved on mss.  The command is:

mswrite -t 730 local_filename /CCSM/inputdata/ice/cice/$GRID/local_filename

There is a script in this directory called write_to_mss that will write
all of the cice input files to the MSS.

All remapping or interpolation should be done from the original file,
if possible:

data_1x1.nc -> data_ice_grid1.nc
data_1x1.nc -> data_ice_grid2.nc
 
not 

data_1x1.nc -> data_ice_grid1.nc -> data_ice_grid2.nc

Code for makeing the scrip remapping files is in:
/home/dataproc/schramm/scrip1.4

The following grids are supported:  gx1v3, gx1v4, gx1v5, gx3, gx3v4,
and gx3v5.

global_* files: Used in cice4_0_6 and beyond.  Contain grid and land
                mask information.  These files can be copied from the
                ocean model input directory.

global_*_.nc  : As of cice4_0_20070724 can read netcdf versions of the
                grid and kmt files.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
iced.0001-01-01* files:  Restart files that are used for initial conditions.

iced.0001-01-01*_20080212: Restart files for CICE with the stresses
                           re-ordered for exact restart.
