[MITgcm-devel] obcs/exf and yearlyfields

[Martin Losch]

Dimitris,

as you have probably noticed, I have checked in the proposed changes.  
The useYearlyFields stuff is completely analogous to exf_set_gen.F,  
so if you find a but there you'll have to copy the fix 4 times (four  
subroutines in exf_set_obcs.F), quite annoying. Maybe it makes sense  
to turn this check into a separate generic character function of  
subroutine that can be called from any routine with the arguments  
(useYearlyFields,genperiod,genfile,twoDigitYear,year)?

Has the bug you mentioned to do with the fact that in exf_init_gen,  
the model looks for the genfile and not for genfile_year?
