[MITgcm-support] geostrophic current in ocean modeling

[Jody Klymak]

You need to set the density field to satisfy the thermal wind as well.

The initialization seems working fine, but since for the geostrophic current to exist, I need to have rotation (see thermal wind relation). However, since the rotation is on, the current will be changed after the initialization. I would like to have an unchanging current V(x,z), which does not depend on time.
