‘Coupling with the atmosphere’ section.
“atmosphere supplies near-surface winds, heat fluxes, freshwater fluxes, and radiative forcing” is not valid for the sea ice. In the coupled model, using our “conductivity coupling” approach, radiative forcing does not go any further than the radiation scheme in JULES and we pass conductive fluxes downwards through the coupler.
Doing the sea ice coupling the way that we do it means that the surface temperature of the sea ice is actually calculated within the JULES and hence explicitly resolved as part of the atmospheric boundary-layer calculations. That point might be of wider relevance to those undertaking this training.
Perhaps add something like the following sentence after “…fluxes back to the atmosphere.”
“For the sea ice coupling, surface exchanges are calculated within JULES allowing the surface temperature to evolve on each model timestep consistent with the near-surface atmosphere.”
