I am working on a project utilizing the MITgcm flt package. I am running the model on a curvilinear grid with multiple processors. In my flt input files i prescribe the vertical position of the flts in fractal indices, and the FLT_MAP_K2R function in the flt_mapping.F
file converts these fractal indices to a depth in meters. However the floats are not being mapped to their exact positions in the simulation. For particles launched between 50-500 meters, the initial starting positions are less than 1m off the desired depth.
But for particles at 1000m launch depth, they are about 20 meters off. I have 45 vertical levels as follows. the dz between layers is 10m in the upper150m, 25m until 600m, 50m until 1000, and then with larger levels to the bottom.</div>

<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">
I am having trouble figuring out why it cannot interpolate the exact depth values that i originally used to interpolate to an indice? I also have confusion about why 2 floats launched at the same depth are then read in at slightly different depths?</div>

Was wondering if anyone else has tried to do this and seen this issue, thanks!</div>
