[MITgcm-support] Alternative flag instead of OBXyFile in data.obcs

[kunal madkaiker]

Hello Martin,

I specified some reference value through obcs_calc.F,
OBNv(i,k,bi,bj)=-1.0
OBNu(i,k,bi,bj)=-1.0
OBNt(i,k,bi,bj)=20.0
OBNs(i,k,bi,bj)=15.0
But when I list the northern open boundary values from my model output,
only temperature is precise at 20,
whereas salinity value is 30 and U,V currents are 0.
Could you shed some light on this?

Thanks and regards,
Kunal
