Thanks Martin,
I think tinkering around with the hFac's will end up working fine. My topography is simple enough I can just alter the hFac's by hand.

However, you will have to change the initialization of the grid (hFac's, in ini_masks_etc.F). For your problem, this is not likely to help a great deal, though ...

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.
