[MITgcm-support] Partial horizontal cells?

[Christopher L. Wolfe]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there a way to use partial horizontal cells (like partial bottom cells in the vertical, but in the horizontal) to represent thin land-masses? I'm trying to compare a coarse-resolution simulation to an eddy-resolving simulation. They both have flat bottoms, but the eddy-resolving model has wall-like land-masses which are much thinner than the horizontal cells in the coarse resolution model. This makes it difficult to transform between the two grids while preserving things like total tracer content.

Any help would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Christopher
