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

[Abhisek Chakraborty]

Respected Dr. Dimitris Menemenlis,

Ok, now I understand the problem. Hope to simulate somehow realistic eta
values by some trial-n-error (adjusting rain & SSS relaxation to balance
EmPmR) method.

Many thanks for your kind guidance,

regards,
Abhisek
