[MITgcm-support] how to use mitgcm

[Christopher L. Wolfe]

Balaji,

The MITgcm by default uses a staggered C-grid, though there are some  
options for calculating some of the terms (e.g., Coriolis  
acceleration) on different grids. I suggest you look at chapter 2 of  
the manual (http://mitgcm.org/r2_manual/latest/online_documents/node30.html 
), particularly 2.11.

However, if you're looking to replicate the results of a paper which  
used a specific model, you might be better off using that model rather  
than the MITgcm.

Cheers,
Christopher
