ields, a field called 
<I>ice_present</I> is written to the history file.  It contains
information on the fraction of the time-averaging interval when any
ice was present in the grid cell during the time-averaging interval
in the history file.  This will give an idea of how many
zeros were included in the average.

<P>
The second caveat results from the coupler multiplying fluxes it receives
from the ice model by the ice area.  Before sending fluxes to the coupler,
they are divided by the ice area in the ic
