Hi all
I am going to running a standalone cam5 with prescribed SST and ICE. When I checked the configure file under the cam/bld dir, its configure surface component options include -ice and -ocn. For the -ocn, its default values is docn which I think it can be used for prescribed SST forcing. However, the default -ice option is cice, that means the cice model is active. And I got confused if my prescribed ice forcing data still works, or I need to choose 'none' to turn it off? Thanks in advance!

CSEG and Liaisons
"-ice cice" does mean that the cice component is used.  It does not imply the sea ice is prognostic.  In cam standalone configurations the cice component provides a thermodynamic sea ice with prescribed ice fraction.  Using cice in a prescribed mode is accomplished by passing the argument "-cice_mode prescribed" to the CICE configure command which is executed from CAM's configure command when running CAM from standalone scripts.
