[MITgcm-support] top_Pres

[Angela Zalucha]

Hi,

I see that Ro_SeaLevel has been removed, and top_Pres has somehow 
replaced it.  I'm using r* (pressure) coordinates for the atmosphere.  
So rather than specifying the pressure at sea level, now we specify the 
pressure at top of the atmosphere?  Do I now need to specify delR from 
the top down instead of from the bottom up?

I was trying to use the 'verification/hs94.cs-32x32x5/input/data' file 
to check.  In the notes for the latest version it says "remove 
'Ro_SeaLevel' setting and use default 'top_Pres' value (=0)".  Yet in 
the code itself, Ro_SeaLevel has indeed been removed, but top_Pres is 
nowhere in the namelist.  In set_defaults.F, top_Pres is unset.

The documentation page for hs94.cs-32x32x5/input/data still contains 
Ro_SeaLevel and no mention of top_Pres.  What is gong on here?

Thanks,

Angela
