[MITgcm-support] external forcing by wind!

[Van Thinh Nguyen]

Hi,

I would like to set a wind forcing on the surface on/off in period of 12h 
as follows:

  &PARM03
  ...
  periodicExternalForcing=.TRUE.,
  externForcingPeriod=43200.,
  externForcingCycle=86400.,
  &

and in

  &PARM05
  ......
  zonalWindFile='wind_x',
  &

But I got error, so I tried another way to set wind stress as an external 
forcing:

(activated EXF package on data.pkg & packages.conf)
and:
in data.exf:

  &EXF_NML

  ustressfile  = 'wind_x',
  ustressperiod=43200.,
  &

I also got error

Is there something wrong or missing? Can someone give me a hint?

Thanks a lot,

Van Thinh
