[MITgcm-support] 3D forcing fields

[Gøran Brostrøm]

Dear MITgcm friends

I work on implementing surface wave forcing on an ocean model. The 
forcing from the surface waves will be 3-Dimensional and change with 
time (i.e., the extra forcing from the surface waves will appear as a 3D 
source term that changes with depth and time in the ocean model). For 
forcing on the surface you use periodicExternalForcing=.TRUE, set an 
externForcingPeriod and provide e.g., zonalWindFile to include a forcing 
field that changes in time.

Is there any prebuilt routine for supplying the same type of forcing for 
a full 3-dimensional forcing fields. If no, any suggestion for the 
easiest hack. Is it to make e.g., zonalWindFile 3D?

Sincerely
Göran Broström
