Hi Pu
(1) and (2) seem correct. But you have to define the obcs time period:
obcsWperiod = 86400,
in data.exf.
Do you have the cal and exf packages enabled? I am not sure if having a time variable obcs is possible without them?
Unfortunately there is no verification experiment exactly like what you want, but these may help:
verification/obcs_ctrl
verification/seaice_obcs

The only effective way I found is to use files containing uniform velocity for parameters: "uVelInitFile", "OBWuFile", and "OBEuFile". Is it right? or is there another "standard procedure" ?

I want to generate above current field by only one prescribe file for "OBWuFile", so I make this (1*Nr*50)-dimension file with gradually increased velocity, from 0 (or 0.01) to 0.1m/s in 50 "time levels". However, the model results show that U at west boundary keep to be zero (or 0.01m/s). What could be the reason for this? and what is the meaning of "time levels"?

I thought the "OB_Iwest=1, OB_Ieast=-1" would be enough to let water/waves flow/propagate out freely.
