[MITgcm-devel] tracForcingOutAB

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Manfredi,

The MITgcm code is tested and this feature (i.e., forcing_In_AB=F) 
is well tested in several test-exp.
Furthermore, setting of this parameter (tracForcingOutAB) is not very 
subtile, so it's unlikely that recent changes in the MITgcm code has
something to do with this problem.

For those reasons, I would be more likely to give more details about 
this type of issue if this was on MITgcm-support list (general type
of question, general type of answer).

In short, I would have answered to support list that 
the 1rst thing to check, from my point of view (and here I slightly 
disagree with Martin, because I would not add print statement until
all the usual check & debug options have been tried), should be
 1) clean built
 2) any source code you added (in one of the "-mods=" dir)

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
