[MITgcm-support] Internal waves. Noise near bottom.

Serge,

According to your "data" file you have no explicit viscosity or  
diffusion. So any internal waves generated at the steps rattle around  
with only numerical diffusivity to dissipate them.  I'd put some  
diffusivity and viscosity in, even if it is molecular.

Cheers,  Jody
