When coupling with the ocean, the coupler expects to send the following to the ocean

  • Ice-ocean and atmosphere-ocean stresses (x, y, and norm)
  • Fresh-water flux
  • Non-solar heat flux
  • Short-wave flux at the ocean surface
  • Salt flux
  • Ice concentration

These need addressing as

  • Ice-ocean stress is handled by Get the ice-ocean stress into the ModelArrayRef system #655, but the atmosphere-ocean stress is not calculated, and the stresses must be merged
  • The fresh-water flux is not explicitly calculated
  • The non-solar heat flux is not explicitly calculated
  • The short-wave flux at the ocean surface is not explicitly calculated
  • The salt flux is not explicitly calculated

In addition, the slab ocean uses an implicit salt change calculation, but

  • The slab ocean should use pre-calculated fresh-water and salt fluxes to calculate the change in SSS
