[MITgcm-devel] testing on faulks

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Martin,

I would like to be sure about the testing, (specially if faulks
is going to be upgraded or replaced) but I did not
think it was your recent modifications that were involved.

I have 2 comment about calc_gw.F:

1) The things you checked-in are a litle bit confusing:

line 69:
 PARAMETER(One=0.5D0)
line 137:
 (maskS(I,J,K-1,bi,bj)*maskS(I,J,K,bi,bj)-2. _d 0))
line 153:
 (maskW(I,J,K-1,bi,bj)*maskW(I,J,K,bi,bj)-1. _d 0))

2) Otherwise, I am not sure that the previous version
would have been correct with slipSideFac=+/-0.5
(I was cautious, and kept slipSideFac=0.) with full cell.
But with the modification you propose, I don't know.
There could be an issue with friction along the solid
wall that you want to have on 1 side (to decelerate the 
deepest side) but not on the other (not to accelerate the shallow
side).

See you,

Jean-Michel
