[MITgcm-support] Problems with OBCS package

As Matt said, that is almost certainly a CFL criteria violation.  You could make your life a lot easier by allowing the wave to propagate in rather than initialize with so much shear throughout your domain.  That will definitely be hard for the model to deal with for a while until it can dissipate the initial hit.
