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

167    The bulk viscosities are bounded above by imposing both a minimum
168    $\Delta_{\min}=10^{-11}\text{\,s}^{-1}$ (for numerical reasons) and a
169    maximum $\zeta_{\max} = P_{\max}/\Delta^*$, where
170    $\Delta^*=(5\times10^{12}/2\times10^4)\text{\,s}^{-1}$. For stress
171    tensor compuation the replacement pressure $P = 2\,\Delta\zeta$

355    \ml{[We have not implemented the EVP solver on a B-grid.]}
356    \begin{figure*}[htbp]
357      \includegraphics[width=\widefigwidth]{\fpath/all_086280}
358      \caption{Ice concentration, effective thickness [m], and ice
359        velocities [m/s]
360        for 5 different numerical solutions.}
361      \label{fig:funnelf0}
362    \end{figure*}
363    At a first glance, the solutions look similar. This is encouraging as
364    the details of discretization and numerics should not affect the
365    solutions to first order. In all cases the ice-ocean stress pushes the
366    ice cover eastwards, where it converges in the funnel. In the narrow
367    channel the ice moves quickly (nearly free drift) and leaves the
368    channel as narrow band.
369    
370    A close look reveals interesting differences between the B- and C-grid
371    results. The zonal velocity in the narrow channel is nearly the free
372    drift velocity ( = ocean velocity) of 25\,cm/s for the C-grid
373    solutions, regardless of the boundary conditions, while it is just
374    above 20\,cm/s for the B-grid solution. The ice accelerates to
375    25\,cm/s after it exits the channel. Concentrating on the solutions
376    B-LSRns and C-LSRns, the ice volume (effective thickness) along the
377    boundaries in the narrow channel is larger in the B-grid case although
378    the ice concentration is reduces in the C-grid case. The combined
379    effect leads to a larger actual ice thickness at smaller
380    concentrations in the C-grid case. However, since the effective
381    thickness determines the ice strength $P$ in Eq\refeq{icestrength},
382    the ice strength and thus the bulk and shear viscosities are larger in
383    the B-grid case leading to more horizontal friction. This circumstance
384    might explain why the no-slip boundary conditions in the B-grid case
385    appear to be more effective in reducing the flow within the narrow
386    channel, than in the C-grid case. Further, the viscosities are also
387    sensitive to details of the velocity gradients. Via $\Delta$, these
388    gradients enter the viscosities in the denominator so that large
389    gradients tend to reduce the viscosities. This again favors more flow
390    along the boundaries in the C-grid case: larger velocities
391    (\reffig{funnelf0}) on grid points that are closer to the boundary by
392    a factor $\frac{1}{2}$ than in the B-grid case because of the stagger
393    nature of the C-grid lead numerically to larger tangential gradients
394    across the boundary; these in turn make the viscosities smaller for
395    less tangential friction and allow more tangential flow along the
396    boundaries.
397    
398    The above argument can also be invoked to explain the small
399    differences between the free-slip and no-slip solutions on the C-grid.
400    Because of the non-linearities in the ice viscosities, in particular
401    along the boundaries, the no-slip boundary conditions have only a small
402    impact on the solution.
403    
404    The difference between LSR and EVP solutions is largest in the
405    effective thickness and meridional velocity fields. The EVP velocity
406    fields appears to be a little noisy. This noise has been address by
407    \citet{hunke01}. It can be dealt with by reducing EVP's internal time
408    step (increasing the number of iterations along with the computational
409    cost) or by regularizing the bulk and shear viscosities. We revisit
410    the latter option by reproducing some of the results of
411    \citet{hunke01}, namely the experiment described in her section~4, for
412    our C-grid no-slip cases: in a square domain with a few islands the
413    ice model is initialized with constant ice thickness and linearly
414    increasing ice concentration to the east. The model dynamics are
415    forced with a constant anticyclonic ocean gyre and by variable
416    atmospheric wind whose mean direction is diagnonal to the north-east
417    corner of the domain; ice volume and concentration are held constant
418    (no thermodynamics and no advection by ice velocity).
419    \reffig{hunke01} shows the ice velocity field, its divergence, and the
420    bulk viscosity $\zeta$ for the cases C-LRSns and C-EVPns, and for a
421    C-EVPns case, where \citet{hunke01}'s regularization has been
422    implemented; compare to Fig.\,4 in \citet{hunke01}. The regularization
423    contraint limits ice strength and viscosities as a function of damping
424    time scale, resolution and EVP-time step, effectively allowing the
425    elastic waves to damp out more quickly \citep{hunke01}.
426    \begin{figure*}[htbp]
427      \includegraphics[width=\widefigwidth]{\fpath/hun12days}
428      \caption{Ice flow, divergence and bulk viscosities of three
429        experiments with \citet{hunke01}'s test case: C-LSRns (top),
430        C-EVPns (middle), and C-EVPns with damping described in
431        \citet{hunke01} (bottom).}
432      \label{fig:hunke01}
433    \end{figure*}
434    
435    In the far right (``east'') side of the domain the ice concentration
436    is close to one and the ice should be nearly rigid. The applied wind
437    tends to push ice toward the upper right corner. Because the highly
438    compact ice is confined by the boundary, it resists any further
439    compression and exhibits little motion in the rigid region on the
440    right hand side. The C-LSRns solution (top row) allows high
441    viscosities in the rigid region suppressing nearly all flow.
442    \citet{hunke01}'s regularization for the C-EVPns solution (bottom row)
443    clearly suppresses the noise present in $\nabla\cdot\vek{u}$ and
444    $\log_{10}\zeta$ in the
445    unregularized case (middle row), at the cost of reduced viscosities.
446    These reduced viscosities lead to small but finite ice velocities
447    which in turn can have a strong effect on solutions in the limit of
448    nearly rigid regimes (arching and blocking, not shown).
449    
450    \ml{[Say something about performance? This is tricky, as the
451      perfomance depends strongly on the configuration. A run with slowly
452      changing forcing is favorable for LSR, because then only very few
453      iterations are required for convergences while EVP uses its fixed
454      number of internal timesteps. If the forcing in changing fast, LSR
455      needs far more iterations while EVP still uses the fixed number of
456      internal timesteps. I have produces runs where for slow forcing LSR
457      is much faster than EVP and for fast forcing, LSR is much slower
458      than EVP. EVP is certainly more efficient in terms of vectorization
459      and MFLOPS on our SX8, but is that a criterion?]}
