7    o verification/lab_sea:
8      - overhaul of the forward model experiments. The main motivation
9        for this revision is that lab_sea has proven quite fragile (when
10        changing the sea-ice code, and switching platforms) to a point
11        when failures were very hard to attribute to specific code problems.
12      - the suspected reason for this fragility is noise amplification by evp so,
13        to start with, we decided to replace evp with lsr in the main experiment.
14      - the input.lsr experiment thus became obsolete and was removed.
15      - it was replaced with the input.fd experiment that uses an
16        analytical "free drift" solution as the ice velocity field.
17      - Taken together, input (lsr), input.fd (free drift) and input.hb87 (evp)
18        will hopefully allow us to discriminate problems due to dynamic solvers
19        from problems due to the thermodynamic code. input.salt_plume (lsr) allows
20        us to test additional options, along with the salt plume package.
21      - Finally a pickup was generated (at the end of a one year run) to
22        make the tests more representative of an actual model run. Previously
23        the tests starting point was a 1m thickness of ice everywhere.
24    o pkg/seaice:
25      - introducing S\R seaice_freedrift.F that compute the
26        analytical solution to an approximate ice momentum
27        equation (i.e. the simple stress/coriolis balance).
28      - define SEAICE_ALLOW_FREEDRIFT to trigger the computation
29        of the free drift velocity field, and enable its use.
30        To actually use the free drift solution as the model ice
31        velocity field set SEAICEuseFREEDRIFT to .TRUE. in data.seaice.
32    o move "useOASIS" from PARAMS.h to EEPARAMS.h and read it from "eedata"

35    o pkg/seaice:
36      -fix the USE_ORIGINAL_SBI version (for variable freezing point);
37      -use "celsius2K" in SEAICE_VARIABLE_FREEZING_POINT and in new
38       version (with USE_ORIGINAL_SBI undef);
39    o add hooks for new packages OASIS, the package will follow
