+As part of ongoing efforts to obtain a best possible synthesis of most
+available, global-scale, ocean and sea ice data, dynamic and thermodynamic
+sea-ice model components have been incorporated in the Massachusetts Institute
+of Technology general circulation model (MITgcm).  Sea-ice dynamics use either
+a visco-plastic rheology solved with a line successive relaxation (LSR)
+technique, reformulated on an Arakawa C-grid in order to match the oceanic and
+atmospheric grids of the MITgcm, and modified to permit efficient and accurate
+automatic differentiation of the coupled ocean and sea-ice model
+configurations.
