[MITgcm-support] Re: Starting with MITgcm

Hi!

I'd like to compare couple of 3D models.  I have a study case - an
open box with inflow in one corner and outflow in diametral corner of
that box.  I've been makeing quite some reading through the MITgcm
User Manual and web pages, tried also some verification cases,
provided by CVS, but I still have a hard time figuring out how to
prepare input data for my box.  I'd be pleased if someone could give
me some directions about where to search for the structure of input
files.  Maybe it's just well hidden in the User Manual, but I'd be
very thankful for helping me through the first steps.

Hi Matej,

I think the above email was sent before you subscribed to this list, so
our mailman software withheld it.  In any case, its copied above.

MITgcm input files are mostly raw binary files written at either 32bit
(REAL*4) or 64-bit (REAL*8) precision.  Some of the experiments in
MITgcm/verification include matlab scripts that demonstrate how to read
and write the necessary data:

  cd MITgcm/verification
  find . -name \*.m

and people on this list can help you with formats for specific files.
