@phil-blain please add the units...i.e., f=1.46e-4 s^{-1}.

The documentation states that this test case sets 'coriolis' to zero, but 'configuration/scripts/options/set_nml.box2001' sets 'coriolis' to 'constant'. Fix the documentation to be in line with the code. While at it, add the correct unit for the Coriolis parameter (in both places where it appears in the documentation).

@JFLemieux73 good idea. I've added it and also in the Case settings section. |

In preparation for the next release, I will merge this tomorrow morning unless any other concerns are expressed before then. Thanks. |

Hmmm. I thought that the box test in the paper (Hunke 2001) used Coriolis=0. Am I not remembering that correctly? The idea was that this test would replicate the one in that paper, to the extent possible. In that case, it would be better to change the test rather than changing the documentation of the test. Opinions about this are welcome.

In Hunke 2001 it is written: For these simulations the Coriolis parameter is taken to be constant... We could set f to 0 as long as it is consistent with the doc. I think the 3 islands are not there either (am I right?). We could just say this test case is inspired by the test case in Hunke 2001. |

Interesting. Thanks for checking! Then let's keep it as the constant value. You're right, the islands aren't there, but they aren't the important part of the test - that's getting the forcing the same. So I think this is fine. Thank you! |
