Forcing ACCESS-OM2 using ESM1.5 data

Thank you! I tried to traceback to find the default drag coefficient values - it looks like cd_m is defined at some point before this, and roughness_mom is defined here in OM2. However the input_ice_gfdl.nml file doesn’t exist in the access-esm1.5 config files so I can’t find this code block at all.

&ocean_rough_nml
    charnock          = 0.032
    do_cap40          = .false.
    do_highwind       = .false.
    rough_scheme      = 'beljaars'
    roughness_heat    = 5.8e-05
    roughness_min     = 1e-06
    roughness_moist   = 5.8e-05
    roughness_mom     = 5.8e-05
    zcoh1             = 0.0
    zcoq1             = 0.0

Are these roughness values prescribed anywhere in the esm configs? I struggle with searching in github across different branches as it doesn’t show lines of code that are in the repo in some branches so I feel like I’ve missed something.
