[MITgcm-support] cal, exf, obcs: problem at the tile boundaries

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Nico, in addition to previous two answers, if you are using high  
frequency forcing, it may exceed the bounds that are checked in  
exf_check_range.F.  In that case and if you are sure that your forcing  
is valid, you should use useExfCheckRange=.FALSE. in data.exf EXF_NML_01

... Patrick, you were caught online and now HAVE to answer the OTHER  
email ;-)
