[MITgcm-support] Query regarding "exf package".

[Menemenlis, Dimitris (3248)]

Himansu, based on startdate in data.cal,
make sure that there are forcing records available for your
first integration time step.

Specifically, based on data.exf below, your startdate in
data.cal has to be on or after 
 startdate1=20110101,
 startdate2=000000,

Also make sure that your initial temperature and salinity
files are consistent with your model bathymetry.

Good luck
