[MITgcm-support] periodic channel

[Mike Spall]

Hi Kelvin,

My understanding is that if the ocean has nonzero depth at
i=1 and i=end then the default is periodic boundary
conditions.  If the ocean depth is zero then it is a closed
boundary.   You could try a channel calculation with no
topography on the ends and see if features propagate through.

best regards,
Mike
