[MITgcm-support] What's the tRef function?

[Patrick Heimbach]

Dear Brainf,

answers to many of your questions to the support 
list can be found in the model documentation.
An up-to-date version can be found at
(see Baylor's mail to support a few months ago)
http://mitgcm.org/r2_web_testing/latest/

I highly recommend you get familiar with the
model by starting from a tutorial example, such
as the one described in section 3.11
http://mitgcm.org/r2_web_testing/latest/online_documents/node123.html

and then adapt this example to your needs
(such as change resolution, inputs, etc).
This will help you figuring out, at which stage,
and why, you may be running into troubles.

The tutorial example also contains a description 
of parameters used in file "data"
(such as , what's tRef, sRef, ...).

Hope this helps
-Patrick
