The freshwater flux diagnostics saved by MOM5/CICE5 in ACCESS-OM2 are not intuitive. e.g.:

  • Why is melt different to (wfiform + wfimelt)?
  • What causes the difference between pme_net and pme_river?
  • They are multiplied by weird and differing factors of rho0 depending whether they are exchanged between the sea ice/ocean vs atmosphere/ocean.

@kialstewart has figured out exactly what they all are, and (I think?) has volunteered to write us a new recipe to explain all of this and make it clear which diagnostics (and rho0 factors) we should all be using.

Possibly this could be linked with Issue #192.
