[MITgcm-support] definition of gravFacC and gravFacF

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Angela,

Here is what I found in PARAMS.h, lines 582,583:
C     gravFacC   :: gravity factor (vs surf. gravity) vert. profile at cell-Center
C     gravFacF   :: gravity factor (vs surf. gravity) vert. profile at cell-interF
meaning that:
 gravity at z=rC(k) is = gravFacC(k)*gravity
 gravity at z=rF(k) is = gravFacF(k)*gravity
and gravFacF(1) is assumed to be equal to one.

Does this answer your question ?

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
