[MITgcm-support] format of input files wrong in regional model with open boundary conditions?

[Jonny Williams]

Thank you again!

Those are both great suggestions and I will have a look at both.

My current hypothesis is that I have gotten something wrong in SIZE.h

Currently I have the following parameters


*      PARAMETER (*
*     &           sNx =  41,*
*     &           sNy =  89,*
*     &           OLx =   4,*
*     &           OLy =   4,*
*     &           nSx =   1,*
*     &           nSy =   3,*
*     &           nPx =  11,*
*     &           nPy =   3,*
.
.
.
... and my grid NetCDF files (which are being created correctly it seems)
have 99 grid elements, which is equal to (nSx*nPx)*(nSy*nPy) in my current
setup. I am currently playing around with these numbers to see if this
makes a difference.

Thanks again!

Jonny
