[MITgcm-support] river discharge

[Dmitri Leonov]

Hello Jean-Michel,

That does not look right - that's for sure. The growth starts as 
quadratic and then becomes linear (see plot) but the slope is not right 
and it depends on the timestep (inversely proportional)!

I can send you my input files. There may be something I'm missing...

Dmitri.
