The icepack driver exists to test the column physics. At the present time, it is hardwired
to run 4 different gridcells on one processor with the same forcing used for all gridcells.
There is no MPI and no threading built into the icepack driver. There is limited IO capabilities,
no history files, and no netcdf restart files. The model generally runs very quickly.

Forcing data and details on these data are available in :ref:`force`.

Atmospheric and oceanic forcing are available from the 2019-2020 Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory
for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition :cite:`Clemens-Sewall24`. The atmospheric forcing is
available minutely and the oceanic forcing is available daily. These data are based on observations from
a collection of drifting ice floes in the Arctic Ocean. MOSAiC
a collection of drifting ice floes in the Arctic Ocean. MOSAiC consisted of two drift experiments,
in which the R/V Polarstern was moored to a drifting ice floe and continuous observations were made. The
first drift started in October 2019 North of the Laptev Sea (85.4N, 129.2E) and ended in July 2020 in
the Fram Strait (79.2N, 2.6W). The second drift was from August to September, 2020 in the vicinity of
the North Pole (approximately 88.6N, 110.6E).

Atmospheric forcing fields from :cite:`Clemens-Sewall24` consist of 2-m air temperature (K), 2-m
specific humidity (kg/kg), 2-m wind velocity in the u and v directions (m/s), downward solar radiation
(:math:`W/m^2`), and downward longwave radiation (:math:`W/m^2`). For the first drift, snowfall rate
(:math:`kg/m^2/s`) is also available. Oceanic forcing fields consist of mixed layer salinity (PSU),
mixed layer depth (m), turbulent heat fluxes over the halocline and thermocline (:math:`W/m^2`),
mixed layer temperature (K), ocean-ice friction velocity (m/s), and sea ice drift speed (m/s). Note,
icepack's driver currently lacks a mechanism to use the ocean-ice friction velocity and/or sea ice
drift speed in the thermodynamics calculations. Additionally, caution should be used when using the
ocean mixed layer temperatures directly because for much of the experiment icepack's parameterization
of the ocean mixed layer freezing point differs from the true freezing point by ~0.5 C.

MOSAiC data are available exclusively as MDF-formatted netCDF files (see :ref:`init`).
