[Mitgcm-support] questions

[mitgcm-support at dev.mitgcm.org]

Hello,

I have 2 questions :

In global_ocean.90x40x15/input/data :
 tr1Stepping         = .TRUE. 
  tracerAdvScheme     = 2
but I cannot find where ALLOW_PASSIVE_TRACER is set to "define"
Isn't it confusing ? 

In model/src/external_forcing_surf.F
Conservation of theta, salt & momentum is not satisfied 
with partial cell in swallow regions (1 level deep) and 
also with NLFS , since the *recip_hFac is missing.
Is there a good reason not to include this factor ?

I am not sure if the same remark applies also to the 
SHORTWAVE_HEATING in EXTERNAL_FORCING_T (in regions 
shallower than 200m ?)

See you,

Jean-Michel
