<font face="Arial" size="4">Dear Community and developers,</font><div><font face="Arial" size="4">These days, I have been trying to force ECCO2 with a different atmospheric data without success. So far the model does not show me any error, but it never pass the first time step. The model just remains frozen in the sea ice diagnostic. Since the model does not output any error, it is quite difficult to find the issue. So I have started with the thing that I changed which was the data.exf namelist. I found several inconsistencies between the manual and the default configuration of ECCO2.</font></div><div><font face="Arial" size="4"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial" size="4">The manual says that the longitude and latitude of the forcing parameters should be set as <span style="white-space: nowrap;">xgOrigin+delX/2 </span>and <span style="white-space: nowrap;">ygOrigin+delY/2 (</span><span style="background-color: rgb(252, 252, 252);">8.4.7.3.3.

On the other hand, the default configuration of ECCO2 with JAR25 data set all the input parameters on the west of the grid cell (i.e. xg,yg+dely/2):</span></font></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(252, 252, 252); color: rgb(64, 64, 64);"><font face="Arial" size="4"><br></font></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(252, 252, 252);"><font size="4" face="Arial"><div style=""><font color="#404040">&EXF_NML_04</font></div><div style=""><font color="#404040"> precip_lon0 = 0.0D0,</font></div><div style=""><font color="#404040"> precip_lon_inc = 1.125D0,</font></div><div style=""><font color="#404040"> precip_lat0 = -89.142D0,</font></div><div style=""><font color="#404040">&
