[MITgcm-support] Re: single layer run

[Sergey Vinogradov]

Jean-Michel,
Did you use the exf package or the main input interface? If you used the 
pInitFile parameter in main block, can you also input the time-dependent 
pressure field through it? In my configuration, I use exf package as I 
can specify the forcing frequency and period.
Thanks,
Sergey
