[MITgcm-support] Help: Format of initialization data and relaxation data

[liujinliang.627]

 Hello,

    I'm trying to have a 10 years run for climatology with the example "\verification\tutorial_global_oce_latlon".

1.  But I don't know how to set initial tracer data "hydrogThetaFile" and "hydrogSaltFile".
  
     If I want to run for 10 years(Global Ocean Simulation, 1 degree * 1 degree, Nx=360, Ny=160,Nr=15 ), which format should I use for "lev_t.bin" and "lev_s.bin"?  Can it be in an (x,y) or (x,y,r) fashion or  others ?  which software should be use for input, matlab or fortran?

2.  Can the relaxation term be turned off ?  If could, which part should I change?

3.  If I want to using wind force for 10 years continuously (externForcingPeriod = 1month, externForcingCycle = 10years ), what format should "zonalWindFile" and  "meridWindFile" be ?  Should it be in  (Nx,Ny) from first month to the end( i.e. (Nx*12*10, Ny) ), or in (Nx, Ny, t) (t is the number of months) fashion?

Thank you !

Liu Jinliang
