[MITgcm-support] Wind Stress files : not properly read by the model

[himansu pradhan]

Hi MITgcm users,

I have been trying to simulate internal waves. I have provided both zonal
and meridional wind stress files. The current flow pattern (flow vectors)
shockingly remained the same (even after i have changed direction of wind
........) .

Finally i run the model with "no wind stress" (files) resulting in the same
flow pattern as before .....!!!!!!!!

1. I feel i have not yet turned on some flags that will allow wind stress
effect on the surface of the water body.....or something like
that............ do help...... ( i am using checkpoint62s).

2. the other matter of concern is ........ am i plotting right in matlab
(using "rdmds.m") ?
The script that i use :

u=rdmds('U',15000);                      % any time step(15000)
v=rdmds('V',15000);
v2=squeeze(v(:,:,1));                     % horizontal data at the 1st
level/surface
u2=squeeze(u(:,:,1));
[x y]=meshgrid(1:157,1:133);        % creating a meshgrid (157*133 matrix)
quiver(x,y,u2',v2');


I have attached my "data" file , packages.conf and CPP_OPTIONS.h for more
clarification.

Any suggestions/help are appreciated.
