[MITgcm-support] Open boundary tidal amplitude

[Jody Klymak]

Hi Weiyang,

Ken Hughes (OSU) implemented surface nudging, which is essentially what you want.  I don’t know if he ever made it into a package, or if it is just a patch.

Cheers,   Jody

The prescribed tidal amplitude input for the OBCS package is velocity (unit of m/s), but I would like to specify the tidal signal using sea surface elevation (or sea level height) instead. Although this might be an old problem, I could find little discussion through previous posts. Could anyone please give me a hand? Thank you in advance!
