[MITgcm-support] Awkward parameters in tutorial_reentrant_channel

[Jeffery R Scott]

Hi David,


Thanks for alerting this to us. These numbers came from Ed Doddridge's SO setup, and values probably overlooked as the tutorial lat-lon domain evolved to final form...

but not sure why they were originally chosen as such. Perhaps Ed can recall?


Jeff

Hi all,



Having a look at the zonally reentrant channel in verification, in data we have:



# Coriolis parameter

 f0=-1.363e-4,

 beta=1.313e-11,



fo corresponds to a latitude of 70S, while beta corresponds to 55S.



No big deal, but curious if this intentional and if so why. Artificially reinforcing beta effect?



Cheers,

David
