[MITgcm-support] OBCS Package

Hi Pu,

Yes, you set your open boundaries  in data.obcs as

 OB_Iwest  =   1,
 OB_Ieast  =   -1,

and your IC for u velocity in your data file under &PARM05 as

uVelInitFile = ‘U.init”

Can you describe what looks wrong with your model output?

Is it simply to set "OBCS_Iwest=1" and "OBCS_Ieast=-1" in file data.obcs ? I did it but the result is odd. I make a 3D velocity file "U.init" and then use: uVelInitFile = 'U.init' to set the initial and constant zonal horizontal velocity. I think I did something wrong....
