Hi Antti,

Thanks, we'd be thrilled to have your updates/modifications!

To get your code added, all we have to do is:

  1) show that it works with the very latest version of MITgcm 
     currently in CVS (that is, it works for your example problem 
     and it doesn't break any of our other verification tests)

  2) then check the code into CVS

  3) then add your example to testreport so that it will 
     become part of our standard verification suite

Probably the quickest way to do this is for you to send your code
modifications (either by email or put them in a tar file on the web), an
example input data set (preferably a small example), and a very brief
description of how to use them.  I'll then do steps 1--3 and will ask
for help as necessary.

Would that be OK for you?

thanks again!
Ed
