[MITgcm-devel] TUV.mat

[Ed Hill]

Hi Alistair, Jean-Michel, & others,

Do you folks know where to find the script(s) used to generate the
"TUV.mat" file for the uvcube2latlon() function?  I know J-M was looking
into this recently but I didn't see a "final" answer.

I did locate three different copies of the file in CVS:

  MITgcm/verification/global_ocean.cubed32x32x30/matlab/TUV.mat
  MITgcm/verification/solid-body.cs-32x32x1/input/TUV.mat
  MITgcm_contrib/enderton/Diagnostics/DiagUtility/TUV.mat

where the 1st and 3rd are identical and have a MatLAB header that
reports:

  MATLAB 5.0 MAT-file, Platform: GLNX86, 
    Created on: Wed May  1 07:40:10 2002

and the 2nd contains four arrays used for vector rotations that are up
to 7% different than the previous two and has a header reporting:

  MATLAB 5.0 MAT-file, Platform: LNX86, 
    Created on: Fri May 11 18:52:01 2001

Is one "better" than the other?  The up-to-7% difference seems like
something that shouldn't be ignored.  So it would be really nice to know
how it was/is/ought-to-be generated.

Ed
