Variables and their dimensions in the ice Initial data

[sang-ki_lee@noaa_gov]

Hi,

I am running a g-case (ocean-ice coupled). One problem is that
the arctic ice melt so much initially that the upper ocean water in the
North Atlantic is too light.

I undertand that the initial ice data is derived from a fully coupled
model run. It is a binary file: iced.0001-01-01.gx3v7_20080212.

I am trying to find a way to reduce the ice thikcness in this initial
condition file. But, I have no idea what variables are contained
in this file. It would be very helpful to know the variables and their
dimensions included in this file.

Thank you.

It turned out that a netcdf format restart file can be also used.
So, the problem solved.
