Experiments with different seaices in Hadcm3

OI heat flux

According to DCs arcance calculations, 10 cm/s is "about the same" as hadcm4-style. I think. Err, that is what I thought, till JG told me that "hadcm4" means changing the ocean-ice diffusion by *10, and that the shear stuff is extra...

Arctic - OI heat flux type runs

All months for the Arctic. 10 cm/s looks quite good.

Jan-Feb-Mar-Apr (ie, winter).
Why aren't 5/10/15 in order???
Jul-Aug-Sep-Oct (ie, summer).
10 is not so good, but now (by the end) about same as the rest.

Antarctic OI heat flux type runs

All months. Well, 5 or 10 helps reduce the winter max

Jan-Feb-Mar-Apr (ie, summer).	Jul-Aug-Sep-Oct (ie, winter).
