[MITgcm-support] zero free surface

[Matthew Mazloff]

Hi Nataliya,

I believe it is impossible to fix Eta to zero....a surface pressure  
is needed to make the fluid non-divergent....perhaps you could code  
this if you used non-hydrostatic model...not sure what would happen

Anyway, you can use rigid-lid to set W = 0 at the surface....but  
pressure will be exerted on the fluid by the lid...so in essence Eta  
will not be 0.

if you want to use rigid-lid set
  rigidLid=.TRUE.,
in  &PARM01 of data
