[MITgcm-support] consatant open boundary flow but interior current changing periodicaly

[Jody Klymak]

Assuming the flow is stratified, I’d expect an inertial response if you start up the flow impulsively.  The inertial rtansiet will die away, but will take a while, so suggest you spin the model up slowly over a few inertial periods if this response is a problem.  

Cheers,   Jody

I think that U above the sill should not change largely with time because of a consatant current flowing into domain on western boundary. Because I am new to MITgcm, I am not sure whether such changing flow above the sill is ture. Can anyone help me with this issue? Did I make something wrong when setting th model? Thank you for you help!
