global ocean using the cubed-sphere grid 32x32x32 with 15 levels
=================================================================

Specific option:
* Use Non-Linear Free surface formulation with z* coordinate
   with real fresh-water flux.
* Oceanic set-up on the cubed-sphere grid using the vector-invariant 
   formulation.

Forcing : 
 use Monthly mean climatological forcing (except P-E-R, annual mean).
 same data set as global-ocean lat-long experiments but interpolated
  on CS-32 grid.

Comments:
* bathymetry : 
 designed to be coupled to Atmospheric model, therefore includes
 most of the semi-enclosed sea (Mediterranean, Black-Sea, Red-Sea,
   Hudson Bay ...)
 bathy_cs32.bin: initial bathymetry
   h < 0 is meant to stay wet-point whatever delZ(1) is ; Consequently
   the global ocean area is not affected by the vertical resolution.
 bathy_Hmin50.bin: bathymetry file used in the current set-up
    generated from bathy_cs32.bin using matlab script mk_bathy4gcm.m
 mk_bathy4gcm.m matlab script that deepen all shallow point up to 50m.
* global integral of E-P-R and annual mean net Q flux are zero.
* package therm_seaice and bulk_forc are included but not yet used.
