<p>Hello MITgcm community<br>
</p>
<p>I have a simple model with three open boundaries in the north, east and west, and in this model that Tide is given to the model as a time series (including 8 components) up to 30 hours (more than one period).There is no problem in the topography and input
data of open boundaries. However, sea surface elevation(eta) in my model rises quickly and greatly at all points from the start of running, thus, the model quickly becomes unstable. Griding and dimensions of the model are as follows:</p>
<p>The grid in the horizontal direction is equal to ten meters and in the vertical direction it has 14 layers of 0.5, 1 and 2 meters from the surface to the floor. The range of the model is as 1.18 km x 0.8 km and the maximum depth is 15 meters.<br>
</p>
<p>Best regards<br>
