Hi Dimtris,
Could you please let me know the piece of code (in MITgcm) which has the provision of setting hfluxperiod, atempperiod, etc., to -12, for running with climatological air/sea forcing values. I couldn't find it in the pkg/exf files.
Thanks again,
Suneet

Thanks Dimitris for your suggestions.

I actually want to run another experiment using monthly-mean climatological forcing fields for comparison with a model run that uses daily forcing fields.
For doing this, should I create a file of [X Y 12] dimension, set  repeatperiod to (365.25*86400) and set hfluxperiod, atempperiod, etc., to -12, as you suggested in your earlier email? Is this right?

Thanks,
Suneet

Units of repeatperiod are s, so multiply numbers below by 86400.  D.

just set repeatperiod to 365.25 (or 365.24219 for very long integrations)
