[MITgcm-support] Underestimated ETA values for Global Ocean!

I don't think you will be able to balance EmPmR with SSS relaxation only.
I think that a better approach would be to adjust rain.
The problem of course is that as you adjust rain, EmPmR will change,
especially if you are using SSS relaxation, because non-linear terms will kick in that affect EmPmR.
So you may have to adjust a second or third time after that, until you are happy that sea level
drift is within reasonable bounds.

Respected Dr. Dimitris Menemenlis,

Thanks or your prompt reply. I found that my eta is decreasing and salt is increasing with time. I have set SSS relaxation scale of 36 days (10m depth for the 1st layer) in my simulation. Can you please suggest me some suitable scale for SSS relaxation to get a balance for EmPmR imbalance?

regards,
Abhisek
