[MITgcm-devel] negative H in calc_r_star.F

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Jean-Michel, thanks for implementing fix so quickly!

Hong is resubmitting his CS510 simulation with your updates
and we'll let you know how it goes.

Regarding the grid point marked in pdf file, your optimistic guess is 
correct.
In this particular case it does connect to water in the U-direction.
But it illustrated for me the possibility of creating "pockets" of
disconnected water if we are not careful in topography preparation.

Cheers
