_[MITgcm-support]_Open_BCs

[Uli Riemenschneider]

HI Petter,

thanks for that tip. I am just rerunning the model to get some output 
closer to the point of the crash, because I don't have any data round 
there and so can't tell right now what went wrong. If it turns out to be 
surface sea level I would most certainly like to know how I could fix 
it. I'll let you know.
