[MITgcm-devel] OBCS_READ_CHECKPOINT

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi,

I was going to move OBCS_READ_CHECKPOINT out of READ_CHECKPOINT
(just to treat all packages in the same way), but I give up, 
since I don't understand very well how the OBCS pickup works:

looking to the code, it seems that the model is doing the following:
1) read-OBC-pickup (S/R OBCS_READ_CHECKPOINT, called from READ_CHECKPOINT, checkpoint.F)
2) set to zero     (S/R OBCS_INIT_VARIABLES, called from PACKAGES_INI_VARIA)
3) obcs_calc & OBC_apply (same S/R)

My question is:
why do we need to read pickup_ob* since, anyway, everything is reset
to zero just after ?
