[MITgcm-support] Change relaxation forcing after the spin up

[Martin Losch]

Hi Elina,

I am not entirely sure what you want to do, but rbcsIniter is replaced by rbcsForcingOffset (in seconds). 

I think if you restart your model anyway, you can just change the relaxation parameters and the relaxation will start directly at your first timestep of the restarted simulation (which is nIter0) and you don’t have to set anything in addition (i.e. use the default rbcsForcingOffset=0.)

If you were to start your integration at nIter0 = 0 and you want to start the relaxation some time later, say at timestep 10886400, then you could set rbcsForcingOffset to 10886400*deltaT = 2177280000.0 (I am guessing deltaT=200.) to achieve that, but again, I think in your case you don’t have to do anything.
