[MITgcm-support] About internal wave simulation

[Martin Losch]

Hi Lee,

with larger gradients in the initial conditions you generate stronger  
currents and that probably violate the CFL criterion (u deltaT/deltaX  
gets to large) . Use a smaller time step.

The monitor package captures an "explosion" by checking the  
temperature range if it is called before everything has turned to NaN  
(if you set monitorFreq < deltaT (or just 1.), then it's called at  
every time step, sometimes handy during debugging/figuring out what  
parameters to use).

tRef: with linear eos you have rho=rhoNil*(1-alphaT*(theta-tRef) +  
betaS*(salt-sRef))
