Hi Michael,

Until we (eventually) move to a language that allows for dynamic memory
allocation, the MITgcm model will, unfortunately, need to be re-compiled
for each individual problem.  Thats why you're seeing this warning in
the default SIZE.h file.

Please take a look at the experiments in MITgcm/verification/ which are
each structured in the following manner:

  MITgcm/verification/${EXP_NAME}/code
                                  input

where the "code" directory contains the local modifications (including
the local copy of SIZE.h) and the "input" directory contains input
files.  By reading and following the examples in the on-line manual that
detail these experiments:

  http://mitgcm.org/sealion/online_documents/node83.html
  http://mitgcm.org/sealion/online_documents/node104.html

you will get a step-by-step introduction to the process of building and
using the code.

If you find errors in or are confused by the manual, please send us an
email and we'll fix and/or explain it!

Ed
