[MITgcm-devel] something to report

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Manfredi,

I don't know what is your "data.exch2" parameter file,
but I assume that you have:
 W2_useE2ioLayOut=T (this is the default)
and:
 W2_mapIO   = 1 (this is not the default, which is -1)
and with some blank tiles ?

Now, the option "W2_useE2ioLayOut" has not been implemented
in pkg/mnc, and this could explain that you have different
size between mnc + rdmnc.m and mdsio + rdmds.m

I think that if you set:
 W2_useE2ioLayOut=F
the plain binary output file (pkg/mdsio + rdmds.m) should have the
same size the current output that you get with mnc + rdmnc.m

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
