[MITgcm-support] Linearized free surface and vertical grid

[Martin Losch]

Hi Paola,

two affirmative replies:
1) yes, rF(1) = Ro_sealevel (=0 by default if you use z-coordinates)  
and it's not moving.
2) yes, in addition make sure that none of the non-linear free  
surface parameters are set (including rstar, etc)

One expample for linear free surface is the verification/global_ocean. 
90x40x15/ experiment.
