Yes, you can use (possibly with a little modification) the MITgcm RBCS scheme. The scheme gives the user the ability to force any or all points in the domain. This is a good place to start: </div>

8.3.2. RBCS Package¶ 8.3.2.1. Introduction¶. pkg/rbcs provides the flexibility to relax fields (temperature, salinity, ptracers, horizontal velocities) in any 3-D location, thus can be used to implement a sponge layer, or a “source” anywhere in the domain,
among other uses.. For a field (\(T\)) at every grid point the tendency is modified so that:</div>

Dear MITgcm Community,<br>
<br>
Does MITgcm provide a mechanism to inject a 3D forcing field (not just a surface one) into the momentum equations?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Igor<br>
