<div dir="auto" class="">Hi MITgcm users,<br class="">
<br class="">
I have a question when trying to apply tidal forcing at the open boundary of my model domain, which is an idealized 3-D cuboid estuary. The prescribed tidal amplitude input for the OBCS package is velocity (unit of m/s), but I would like to specify the tidal signal using sea surface elevation (or sea level height) instead. Although this might be an old problem, I could find little discussion through previous posts. Could anyone please give me a hand? Thank you in advance!<br class="">
<br class="">
Best,<br class="">
