Snow thickness results from E3SM indicated that snow aging (metamorphism) increases snow depth in both hemispheres while snow redistribution decreases it (it blows into leads), with the net effect of less snow in the northern hemisphere and more in the southern hemisphere. The QC results show increased ice thickness in both hemispheres, which would be consistent with increased snow depth in both places.

I'm not entirely sure what the QC configuration actually includes, e.g. does it use the ocean forcing file? Does it have monthly output in addition to the daily ice thickness snapshots? @apcraig please, would you post ice_in here for a baseline case?

The following is ice_in from cice.cb58257857.221126-095037/cheyenne_intel_qcchk_gx1_144x1_medium_qc_qcchk.

From #415:
One important comment I might add. The snw cases are starting with the "icdefault" option because restart files are not available. The standard case starts with a proper initial condition. Also, I'm not sure whether these plots are means or something else, maybe someone else knows.
Ah, that helps - different initial conditions will make a big difference. For QC, the ice thickness data are daily snapshots, but the plots say 'mean ice thickness' so those must be some average of the daily output. Monthly output is not written so we probably can't make CESM diagnostics from these files.
The snow aging table in snow_nml is set to 'test' rather than the regular one - maybe that needs to be fixed in the options files, so that users get the standard configuration rather than a test config. Also, oceanmixed_file='unknown_oceanmixed_file'
so deep ocean heat flux convergence in the southern hemisphere is missing, which also would contribute to thicker ice in all runs.

Here are the plots.
The 26h run has the advanced snow physics. Basically the snow is much thinner in the Arctic and hence thinner ice. Not as obvious in the southern hemisphere.
