<div dir="ltr">Hello,
Qiyu,<div><br></div><div>The EXF package expects the 2D fields of tidal geopotential as tidal forcing. Say, your configuration is 100x200 horizontally. Then you need to provide to the MITgcm a file containing the arrays each of 100x200 elements, for each time step of external forcing (e.g., your forcing time step is1 hour => you need 25 arrays of 100x200 elements for a full one day forcing, taking into account the interpolation in time). You may also provide a coarser forcing (e.g., 10x20 in horizontal) and use a built-in interpolation implemented in the MITgcm.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, once you work with a channel model, I again suggest having a look at the OBCS package. It works not with tidal external forcing in the form of geopotential (as EXF package), but with tidal forcing at the open boundary (amplitude, phase, period). For me, it is a more natural way to implement a tidal forcing for a channel. But it all depends on the size of your channel, of course.</div><div><br></div><div>Please note that not all information is presented in the user's manual.

You should definitely adapt to your needs, - this one forces in y by fU for a mean, and x by a tidal body force?<br>

Hi Ryan,<br>
<br>
Since the tidal forcing is just variation of gravity, and gravity can be expressed<br>
as gradient of a potential, the tidal forcing can be provided as a tidal potential.<br>
This is how it's done in MITgcm, except that it's only a 2-D forcing field (neglecting vertical<br>
gradient of tidal geopotential is generally OK and fits better with hydrostatic approximation<br>
and, to a lesser extent with thin-shell approximation).<br>
<br>
It has been implemented in pkg/exf (back in October 2017):<br>
#define EXF_ALLOW_TIDES , variable "tidePot", parameters "tidePot*" (e.g.,<br>
tidePotFile, tidePotStartdate1 ...).<br>
<br>
And I am copying below the content of a message that got sent to some MITgcm email list<br>
back at that time, regarding the advantage of separating tidal geopotential from <br>
atmospheric pressure loading.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jean-Michel<br>
