Yu-heng,

The specification of flow at open boundaries is made in obcs_calc.F
but there is no default mechanism for using external data. So far
all our experiments have had analytic expressions for the boundary
values. If you need to use non-analytic data then you will have to
modify obcs_calc.F to read in data from file.
