[MITgcm-support] external forcing wind

[Dattilo, Francesco]

Hi everyone,

I'm working with the Darwin package. I'm a bit confused about how to set
wind as external forcing.
I saw that it is possible to specify the zonal wind and the meridional wind
in the "data" file, and this seems to be consistent with the example
<https://mitgcm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/barotropic_gyre/barotropic_gyre.html#sec-eg-baro>
. However, it seems that I have also another way, by modifying the
"data.darwin" file, specifying the windFile and "darwin_useEXFwind =
.TRUE." and "DARWIN_haveWind = .FALSE."
 but in this case it is not clear to me:

1) which kind of file has to be the "windFile"
2) if it is correct to set "darwin_useEXFwind = .TRUE."  and
"DARWIN_haveWind = .FALSE."

Using a 1D model I also don't know what's the proper choice.

Thank you very much for every suggestion

Best regards

Francesco Dattilo
