[MITgcm-support] nPx vs. nPy

[taimaz.bahadory]

My total grid is 130x100, which matches a Nx=13x1x10 and Ny=100x1x1.
As I said, when I play with y-direction (i.e. changing nPy to from 1 to 10
and sNy from 100 to 10, while nPx is 1 and sNx is 130), everything works
fine. The problem arises when I try to increase the nPx to something else
than 1, also I'm careful of the total product to match the total grid size
mentioned in data file.
