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

[Martin Losch]

Hi Nadine,

this is weird, can you make your configuration available, so I can run it? I guess a coarse grained version would be enough? (code directory, and input directory with bathymetry, etc, and startification, please don’t post the files to this list, but rather a link).
