[Mitgcm-support] code downloaded

[mitgcm-support at dev.mitgcm.org]

Dear Sir,

This is to inform you that we (namely Chantal Staquet, LEGI, Grenoble;
Pascale Bouruet-Aubertot,
LODYC, Paris; and myself) have gratefully downloaded the mitgcm-code
from your site.
We plan to use it for modelling internal tides in the Bay of Biscay (3D
nonlinear nonhydrostatic,
ultimately).

As a starting point I'm taking the internal-wave (reflection at a slope)
example described
on your site, and I was wondering whether the boundary conditions have
been adapted previously to
include barotropic forcing (for internal-tide generation), specifically
in obcs_calc.F.
(On internet I found a paper (by Khatiwala) who added a body force in
the zonal momentum, which
requires, I think, digging deeper into  the code).  I would be most
grateful if you could
send me any information available on this application of your code.

Sincerely,

Theo Gerkema
