[MITgcm-support] passive tracer sampled by flt

[钱钰坤]

Hi all,


In a simple setup, I've enabled both flt and ptracer packages.  By default, the float tracked by flt package will sample the T/S automatically.  I wonder if the float can sample the passive tracers simutaneously in the sample run, as I really want to see the along-track variation of the ptracer.


I may have to do the sampling offline, if flt cannot sample ptracer automatically.  In doing so, I found that the flt trajectory output do not contain the initial record (the position at the release time).  In my case, I released a lot of floats and it is not easy to recover where a specific float was deployed.  Is there a 'dumpInitialAndLast' flag for flt package similar to the standard model output so that the output trajectory file contains all the information from the deployment (and I don't have to insert a initial record before the subsequent traj outputs).
