Hi Nicolas,

Additionally you can also modify the following lines in
"/MITgcm/model/src/cg2d.F":

       IF ( debugLevel .GE. debLevZero ) THEN
        _BEGIN_MASTER( myThid )
C        write(standardmessageunit,'(A,1P2E22.14)')
C     &  ' cg2d: Sum(rhs),rhsMax = ',
C     &                                  sumRHS,rhsMax
        _END_MASTER( myThid )

remark the lines as above you will save a lot of disk space. I have done
this and also what Ed said.

-Yuan
