Landice core

The landice core in compass contains test groups and test cases for the MPAS-Albany Land Ice (MALI) model. For more information on MALI, see Hoffman et al. (2018) and the MALI User’s Guide. There are a number of test groups, listed below. Some additional landice test cases are available through Legacy COMPASS.
