[MITgcm-support] Re: problem with obcs package

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Suneet, if you set bathymetry at boundaries to zero then you will have  
a closed-boundary domain.  What you need to do is to balance U/V at  
boundaries to make sure that total volume transport entering your  
integration domain averages out to zero at every time step or over  
some time period.
