 o To reproduce the run :  
   
 The genmake options are in .genmakerc, so that the simplest form  
 of genmake can be used :  
 cd input  
 ../../../tools/genmake  
 make depend  
 make

8  mitgcmuv  The local copy of S/R aim_surf_bc.F (in code directory) provide
9    a) the SST field (hard coded).
10    b) the time in the year is fixed and corresponds to the spring equinox;
11     this ensures a symetric forcing between N & S hemispheres.
12    The model uses the standard 5-level vertical resolution of the Speedy_v23
13     code; the horizontal resolution is 2.8125 with 128x23 grid points.
