It would be worthwhile to save the fields required for a [`DOCN`](https://escomp.github.io/CDEPS/versions/master/html/docn.html) data ocean to drive CICE6-WW3 configurations. From @ezhilsabareesh8’s [poster](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/poster-enhancing-access-om3-with-integrated-wave-ice-interactions/3602) the required fields are

- SST
- SSS
- surface velocity
- melt and freeze potential
- mixed layer depth

@lgbennetts, @NoahDay please chime in with the duration of the 0.25° WW3-CICE6 runs you’re planning and the data frequency you think will be needed (e.g. will daily data for a few years be sufficient? As these are 2d fields we could probably go to higher frequency if the duration is not too long.)
