[MITgcm-support] Stratification creating current without forcing (Martin Losch)

[Nadine Steiger]

Hi,

salinity does not go below or above the initial values.

When creating the hydrogSaltFile, I precribe the salinity everywhere, as 
I figured that MITgcm masks the topography during initialization.

I tried to prescribe salinity through hydrogSaltFile and through 
sRefFile, but I get the same issue in both cases.

When I turn off saltStepping and saltAdvection, the ocean stays in rest.

When I use a flat bottom instead of a channel, the problem does not 
occur either.
