Dynamic variation of ice albedos

[mirin]

I'd like to vary ice albedo parameters (albicev, etc.) during a run by changing them upon restarting. The code appears to read the ice namelist at each restart and calculate the albedos regularly, so it looks like the procedure should work. I am just double-checking. Thanks.

According to the interim CCSM ice-model liaison, you are correct to assume that you can change the ice and snow albedos for each job submission. The liaison recommends testing that your albedo changes result in a different ice-model solution, and he also recommends keeping a record of the model dates at which you made the changes.
