[MITgcm-support] East and West boundaries

[Martin Losch]

Somehow this didn't get sent:

Riema,

I guess it's the CFL-criterion (u*dt/dx should be < 1/2 for a stable  
solution), that is killing you. What is the actual amplitude u0=(A/D)* 
((2*pi/T)/(2*pi/L))? maybe that's too large now. Either decrease your  
u0, or decrease the time step.
