   ! prescribed.  Air/ice fluxes are computed to get surface temperature,
   ! Ice/ocean fluxes are set to zero, and ice dynamics are not calculated.
   ! Regridding and data cycling capabilities are included.
+  
+  ! Note (8/8/2024): This code is dependent on CDEPS (to input ice data).
+  ! In the interests of cleaner code, drivers/nuopc/cmeps now is too.
+  ! If problematic, please see https://github.com/CICE-Consortium/CICE/pull/964 for alternatives.
