[MITgcm-support] ptracer and default boundary conditions

[Daniel Goldberg]

Hello All

It's my first time using ptracers. In my setup I am using OBCS at all
boundaries, specifying U and V (inflow in some places, out in others). I am
not using Orlanski or Stevens bc's. I want the tracer to simply be advected
out with the outgoing flow, and incoming flow to have zero tracer
concentration, and I have not defined any boundary files for ptracers in
data.obcs.

My assumption is that by default I will get this (simple outflow, no
inflow), but the online ptracer documentation does not explicitly say this,
so I would just like to make sure.

Thanks very much!
Dan
