The conversion factor has been fixed in versions csim4_8_16 and later.
(csim5_0_2 was in the CCSM3.0 release)
csim4_8_15 was used in CCSM versions ccsm3_0_beta08 and earlier.
csim4_8_16 was used in CCSM versions ccsm3_0_beta09 and later.
Note that in the vector version of the ice model, the method of
indexing the conversion factors has been replaced by a less
error prone method. This is in versions csim5_0_0 and later.
Here are the variables affected and the factors needed to correct the
fields:
| Index Number | Variable Name | Erroneous Conversion Factor | Correct Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| 35 | Qref | mps_to_cmpdy/dt | kg_to_g |
| 36 | growb | mps_to_cmpdy/rhoi | mps_to_cmpdy/dt |
| 37 | frazil | mps_to_cmpdy/dt | mps_to_cmpdy/rhoi |
| 41 | meltl | secday | mps_to_cmpdy/dt |
| 43 | Fsalt_aice | mps_to_cmpdy/rhofresh | secday |
| 45 | Fresh_aice | 1 | mps_to_cmpdy/rhofresh |
| 58 | strength | secday*c100 | 1 |
| 61 | opening | 1 | secday*c100 |
| 63 | sig2 | mps_to_cmpdy | 1 |
| 65 | dvidtd | secday*c100 | mps_to_cmpdy |
| 67 | daidtd | 1 | secday*c100 |
To correct the field, multiply the bad field by the correct factor and divide by the erroneous factor.
