[MITgcm-devel] bounds in ctrl_map_init_ecco.F not cover Arctic

[An T Nguyen]

hello,

The current lower bounds for 2 control fields, salt0 and background diffusivity, are too high for the Arctic region.  I'd like to change them as follows:

old:
#ifdef ALLOW_SALT0_CONTROL
c--   Salinity field.
      boundsVec(1)=29.
      boundsVec(2)=29.5
#ifdef ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL
      boundsVec(1)=1. _d -6
      boundsVec(2)=2. _d -6

new:
#ifdef ALLOW_SALT0_CONTROL
c--   Salinity field.
      boundsVec(1)=18.
      boundsVec(2)=20.0
#ifdef ALLOW_DIFFKR_CONTROL
      boundsVec(1)=1. _d -7
      boundsVec(2)=3. _d -7
However, I think the changes will affect some results on current tests... So I'm putting it here for discussion and advise on how to proceed.
Thanks, 
An
