[MITgcm-support] SST relaxation with temporal variability

Dear MITgcm support,


I am trying to include sea-surface temperature (SST) relaxation with temporal variability.
 
I found the documentation for which parameters to change for temporally varying wind stress (http://mitgcm.org/public/r2_manual/latest/online_documents/node104.html <http://mitgcm.org/public/r2_manual/latest/online_documents/node104.html>) but the `externForcingCycle` and `externForcingPeriod` parameters seem only to be incorporated into the momentum equation.
Do the parameters also apply to the SST forcing prescribed by `thetaClimFile` in the `data` name file or would I need to use the `rbcs` package by prescribing `rbcsForcingPeriod`, `rbcsForcingCycle` and `tauRelaxT`?
In the latter case, should I simply comment out `tauThetaClimRelax` and `thetaClimFile` in the `data` name file?

Any clarification on this would be helpful. Thank you very much for your support in advance.


Best,
Takaya
