[MITgcm-support] Using MITgcm for a complex domain!

[Matthew Mazloff]

Hi Van Thinh

Many of the verification experiments include the matlab program 
gendata.m in the input folder.  This file is an example of how to 
generate a bathymetry file.
the file is written in this program e.g.
 fid=fopen('data.bathy','w','b');
 fwrite(fid,Q,'real*8');
 fclose(fid)

and then in your input data file you give the input data file in the 
parm05 namelist
e.g.
 &PARM05
 bathyFile='data.bathy',
 &

delZ only determines your depth levels, not wet/dry points.  The model 
determines your wet/dry points from bathyFile
(you may also want to use partial cells, see 2.10.7 in the mitgcm manual)
