[MITgcm-devel] changes in OBCs pkg

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Martin,

There is an alternative to the use of a 2D-exchange vertical slabs:
Assuming that the model read a global file (with the OB values),
the whole field is available, and we just have to figure out
where to take the values to fill-in the overlap.
It's similar to what is done in OBCS_INIT_FIXED when
the indices (OB_Ie,OB_Iw,OB_Jn & OB_Js) are set.
