[MITgcm-support] code compilation problem

[Robert Ong]

Dear Holly,

Thanks very much for your helpful reply.

Just a very quick question, I am currently in need of ocean currents and 
flow rates data for a specific site and timeset as input values to my 
CFD simulations. Do you think MITgcm is the right tool for my purpose?

I am aware of OSCAR (Ocean Surface Current Analyses), however, it 
doesn't serve my purpose. I just need to know a tool that is able to 
generate moderate accuracy if not some ball park figures to be used for 
my CFD simulations.

Kind Regards,
Robert

If not, you can start with one of the available build option files, like the one above, and modify it for your specific compilers.
