CICE in CESM/RASM about cice

[apcraig]

Testing has begun in RASM. There is a branch in the rasm repo, cice6 where development and testing are happening. The CICE and Icepack rasmA branches in the fork apcraig are being synced with the NPS svn code. Eventually, the rasmA branches will be merge to the consortium. More testing is needed.

A few details about this ongoing work: This coupling is being worked on by Tony Craig, Andrew Roberts and Robert Osinski. First up, we have CICE6 working in RASM in G-case simulations using RASM Version 2.1, which uses WRF 3.7, CICE 6-alpha, POP2, and VIC 5, and have completed an integration of the ice-ocean simulations from 1979 to 2009 on an SGI Ice X . Plots evaluating the climate of the model in comparison to the default ColPkg version of CICE in RASM V2, which was the code base used to initiate the CICE-Consortium on GitHub, will be made available in the coming weeks.

A pre release CICE6.0 candidate is running in RASM. Results will be part of the release documentation. This will be an ongoing task, to test CICE in coupled systems. At this point, I will close this issue. The codes have been synced up recently and the process is in good shape. See #253
