[MITgcm-support] external forcing

[Dmitri Leonov]

Hi Baylor,

I've done some preliminary experiments with a curvilinear grid. I think 
it ran on 1 processor so I didn't have to assemble the output but I 
could view it using ncview. The 'coordinate' variables were lat and lon 
along the 'eastern' and 'southern' boundaries of the domain and were not 
even monotonic in my case but it didn't seem to cause too much of a 
problem (yet?)
I was wondering about forcing such model with wind. I haven't tried it 
yet. But since it's possible to turn off spatial interpolation I would 
guess it should work.

Thanks,
Dmitri
