Description
Bugfixes for icepack cleanup (#1117) for tracers (ice/snow temperature, ice and snow enthalpies, ice salinity):
This time, besides running one high res forecast (it didn't fail), I also looked at how ice/snow temperature, ice and snow enthalpies and ice salinity changed with cleanup (spoiler alert: the code no longer generate 90C ice temperatures just to ignore them later). Cleanup redistributes ice between the categories if needed (and updates tracers accordingly), and zaps ice with small areas and snow when snow enthalpies are inconsistent.
All of the below plots are showing update to different ice categories from just cleanup (after the analysis increment was added); so the ice concentration difference is just redistribution of ice between the categories. Note that it's the first cycle and background is quite far from analysis, so the increment was quite large in a lot of areas, so there's a lot to redistribute.
Issue(s) addressed
Fixes #1117
Testing
hera/intel with soca tests (I needed an update to tolerance similar to #1116 for the test to pass on develop) and one analysis/forecast for high-res gdas experiments.
