[MITgcm-support] cubed sphere

[Martin Losch]

Hi again,

as I said before, the thing about the cubed sphere grid is that I just 
don't know what I am doing. I guess the strange features that I 
observed in the velocitiy fields (BTW, also in the unchange 
verification experiments) are a result of me not being able to 
transform VECTORS properly for visualization. (Are there any matlab 
routines out there that would do that for me?) Scalars are, as usual, 
simpler.

Do you agree? The fact that you have been fooled by my ignorance tells 
me, that you are not that familiar with this problem, either (o:
