The windstress at the north pole on the ocean/ice grid seems to always be ~0. This seems to be due to interpolating meridional and zonal components on the windstress across the pole.
Plots of magnitude of the average windstress, averaged over 10 days. Comparison of atmosphere windstress, and cice windstress (from runs using mappatch and mappatch_uv3d). Note the dark spot at the north pole present in the mappatch plot.
