[MITgcm-support] Re: mdsio slice routines

[Matthew Mazloff]

Hi Suneet,

Northern and southern boundaries should both use same I/O  
routines.....and eastern and western should both use same I/O  
routines.  If the northern boundary works but the southern doesnt  
than than there must be a discrepancy between call routines....that  
should not be the case....I had a quick look for this discrepancy but  
couldnt find it....not sure whats going on.  What do you mean the  
routines do not 'work' for the south and west boundaries?
