Salinity is not dynamically active in this experiment +(linear equation of state with sBeta=0). Different kinds of open +boundary values are used: zonal (x-)velocity U is prescribed at all +open boundaries with values that are read from data files (specified +in data.obcs); meridional (y-)velocity V is set to zero on all +boundaries, and temperature to tRef(z), both in obcs_calc.F, this is +the default behavior; at the western boundary, salinity values are +used for salinity and one passive tracer in the same way. Salinity is +set to sLev at all other boundaries, while a (nearly) homogeneous +v.Neumann condition is applied to the passive tracer (the latter is +the default in obcs_calc.F), with a relaxation (using pkg rbcs) in +the Eastern part of the channel. Open boundary parameters are set in +data.obcs.
