[MITgcm-support] Problems about OBCS and EXF

[Martin Losch]

Dear Li Ming-jie,

pleas have a look at the example verification/seaice_obcs, where the packages obcs, exf, cal are used to together (you can remove/ignore the sea-ice stuff). That should get you started.

PS. When I look for specific examples, I usually try this:
cd $rootdir/verification
grep -i useEXF ./*/input*/data.pkg | grep -i true
that gives me a list of data.pkg-files with useExf=.true.

The manual says that this case requires packages CAL and EXF to be enabled, but it doesn’t say how to deal with the file data.exf. Unfortunately, the experiments that use EXF do not use OBCS. So I cannot find how to define OB U or OB V in data.exf.  In addition, the external forcing (i.e. heat flux, wind stress) is supposed to be added. The periods for OB U(V) and external forcing are supposed to be 1 hour and 24 hours (or maybe 6 hours), respectively. Is that feasible? Does the file data.obcs need some modification? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
