[MITgcm-support] aim.5l_LatLon Topography File Format

[Chris Horvat]

Taimaz,

Should be a binary file with heights (or pressures). Just make sure that
you reflect the sign convention, i.e. underwater, the sign is negative.

See http://mitgcm.org/public/r2_manual/latest/online_documents/node102.html

What exactly is the error you recieve?

Chris
