how to output melt pond fraction in Icepack

[chenshzh12]

Hi there,
I want to get the melt pond fraction (apnd) from the 1-d icepack model, which is not described in the icedrv_diagnostics.F90. Can anyone give some guidance on what and how should I modify the codes to get melt pond fraction output. I was guessing they might be icedrv_diagnostics.F90, icedrv_state.F90, or icedrv_flux.F90? Many thanks in advance.
Best,
Shengzhe

I need to produce an FAQ on adding output for Icepack. Basically, you need to edit icedrv_diagnostics.F90. You should follow the example of Tsfc. You will need to add the tracer index for the array "trcr": nt_apnd and maybe also nt_hpnd for the pond depth. You might also consider apeff_ai as this is the actual pond fraction used for the radiation.

Hi, dbailey. Where can I find the FAQ on adding output for Icepack. That's also what I need. Thanks.
Best wishes.

I have not completed the FAQ yet. Work in progress. However, you can look at icedrv_diagnostics.F90 to see how this is done for other variables.

Hi, dbailey. If the FAQ complete and where can I find the FAQ. That's also what I need. Thanks. Best wishes.

Here is a rough draft on adding diagnostic output in Icepack. Please give me feedback on this.
