[MITgcm-support] bottom drag

[Xiaoming Zhai]

Hi,

I have got a quick question. What happens if I use no-slip bottom boundary condition, but does not specify values for bottomDragLinear or bottomDragQuadratic in my data file? It seems that the default values for bottomDragLinear and bottomDragQuadratic are zero. Does this mean my bottom friction and the energy dissipation associated with that are zero?  Thanks a lot.

Best,
Xiaoming
