Description

Goals:

  • use get_dart_vector_index to get state vector offset
  • use quad_utils module (place to fix interpolation)
  • Ncat loops, cat signal - only keep what is needed for the calculation.
  • get dimension from state variable, rather than case statement on qty.
  • netcdf utilities

Research direction

Start in models/cice/model_mod.f90, especially the get_dart_vector_index usage and the use_default_state_variables TODO referenced in the issue. Read the quad_utils module and the existing Ncat, state-variable dimension, and netcdf utility code before defining the refactor boundaries. Done means the listed CICE model_mod goals are addressed without retaining unnecessary calculation-only logic.
