[MITgcm-support] binary input file with (lat, long, depth, time) for offline run

[Martin Losch]

Hi Eric,

you could try to use code from pkg/rbcs/rbcs_fields_load.F as an example.
If you are used to the pkg/exf functionality in terms of calendar etc, then this will be a little dissappointing, as it only allows fixed intervals, but maybe that’s already enough.
