Sloping ice base

• machinery is largely there but not functional (NaNs in output matrices). CB is diagnosing the issue.
• then, change buoyancy definition to be based on density difference.
• test evolution without offsets in T,S across cyclic boundaries.
• Luke recommends testing "bubble" cases in both atmosphere (dense bubble on bottom boundary) and ocean (light bubble on top boundary) and compare behavior.

Fluxes at ice-ocean boundary

• discuss how to calculate fluxes
• consider Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory of McPhee for sea ice conditions. Currently, MOST for atmosphere cases is simulated in PALM. In McPhee MOST, T and S fluxes are clearly defined; momentum fluxes less clear.
• after coding McPhee MOST, run resolution studies
