[MITgcm-devel] status of OBCS changes

[Martin Losch]

Hi Jean-Michel,

I am not particularly attached to this OBCSfixTopo code, I just added it for convenience because I was tired of explaining to people that they have to adjust their topography along the OBCS. If this is no longer required, all the better, and yes, OBCSfixTopo=.false. is a sensible default in this case.

My little obcs-experiment does not seem to be affected by your changes either.
