[MITgcm-support] rbcs question

[Yangxin He]

Hello there,


I would like to use the RBCS package to generate some internal waves (IWs) only for a while, say 10 tidal periods. After that, I want to stop the forcing so no more generation of the IWs, and the simulation keeps going on for another while, say 50 tidal periods. Since this is non cyclic forcing, in my data.rbcs, I set

"

   rbcsIter0=1,
   rbcsForcingPeriod=1944.,
   rbcsForcingCycle=0.,
   rbcsSingleTimeFiles=.TRUE.,
   deltaTrbcs=1944.,
"
But if I do it this way, I will have to initialize relaxUFile for the total 60 tidal periods (way too many files), even though for the majority of it, there is no forcing at all. Is there any simpler way I can achieve this?

Thanks
Yangxin
