[MITgcm-support] stretched grid

[Alistair Adcroft]

Yes it is quite possible. The only thing the model does wrong is that it
assumes we're on a cube grid when reading the curvilinear grid data - I have
fixed this in my own version but need to check/rectify it with the latest
cube stuff.

The grid generation needs to give point-to-point distances and surface areas
for the four grids of model variables (T,U,V,Zeta) as defined in GRID.h .

Hi Alistair,

is it possible to run the model on a stretched
orthogonal grid?

I reckon, it should be (fairly easy) as long as it 
is orthogonal, right?
All that needs to be done should be to generate 
correct face cells that are then read by the model.
Is there any documentation of what input the model needs
(and which secret flags need to be set)?

Thanks
-Patrick
