I was wondering if there is a standard package, or some modified code that someone has written which would all me to do the following task. With RBCS package I can restore the stratification (temp and salt), to some prescribed profiles. However the way this works is by relaxing the synoptic fields, such as 1/(tau)*(T(x,y,z,t) - T_ref). Instead I want to not restore the synoptic fields, but instead some zonal mean profiles, such as 1/(tau)*(T_bar(y,z,t) - T_ref). The goal is not overly damp the large eddies, but instead just nudge the mean state.<br>
<br>
Any advice or help would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
