7  Steps  to add tide boundary conditions  to regional MITgcm  Steps  to add tide boundary conditions  to regional MITgcm
8  0) Download the Circum-Antarctic Tide (CAT) Solution (Padman et al. 2002)  0) Download the Circum-Antarctic Tide (CATS) Solution (Padman et al. 2002)
9     from Earth and Space Research, http://www.esr.org.     from Earth and Space Research,   http://www.esr.org/~padman/cats2008b/
10     Modify CAT directory in test_tide_bc.m     Modify CATS directory in test_tide_bc.m  
11       Download the TMD2.03 software for extracting the tidal solution from
12       http://www.esr.org.
13       Modifications  are needed in the original /TMD2.03/tmd_extract_HC.m in order
14       to have the correct path of tidal solution as shown in the sample_tmd_extract_HC.m.
15    
16  1) use create_bc_grid.m (test_bc_grid.m) to generate bc grid files.  
17    1) use create_bc_grid.m (called by test_bc_grid.m) to generate bc grid files.
18     create_bc_grid.m will generate files with names like     create_bc_grid.m will generate files with names like
19     bdry_grid_[snwe].mat for south, north, west, and east boundary.       bdry_grid_[snwe].mat for south, north, west, and east boundary.  
20     This script needs a directory path for MITgcm domain related files,     This script needs a directory path for MITgcm domain related files,
21     especially YC.data, XC.data, hFacC.data, AngleCS.data, AngleSN.data.     specifically  YC.data, XC.data, hFacC.data, AngleCS.data, AngleSN.data.
22    
23  2) use create_tide_bc_4bdry.m to generate tidal bc files (test_tide_bc.m)  2) use test_tide_bc.m to generate tidal bc files which calls
24     Or dummy tidal bc files (zero amplitde and phase) for land boundary     create_tide_bc_second.m
25     if there is such a need.     or dummy tidal bc files (zero amplitude and phase, tide_bc_empty.m)
26       for land boundary if there is such a need.
27     create_tide_bc_4bdary.m will generate tidal bounday files with names  
28     like OB[SNWE]{am ph}.seaice_obcs and a time constant in seconds     create_tide_bc_second.m will generate tidal boundary files with names
29     which will be used in obcs_add_tides.F       like OB[SNWE]{am ph}.seaice_obcs.  
30     The obcs_add_tides.F is included in this directory to explain how     The tidal current and phase will be used in  obcs_add_tides.F.    
31     timec is used. This part (using timec)  will be changed in future.    
32    3) Modify MITgcm configuration
33  3) Modify data.obcs as following       3.1) ALLOW_OBCS_TIDES in OBCS_OPTIONS.h  
34     The number of tidal constituents to be included and their order     3.2) OBCS_PARAMS.h  (tidalComponents = ??, number of tidal constituent to be included.)
35     should be consistent for tidal periods and tidal current amplitude and     3.3) data.obcs as following
36     phase files,  OB?amFile and OB?phFile.     The number of tidal constituents to be included and their period and
37     useOBCStides = .TRUE.     order should be consistent with their order in tidal current amplitude
38       and phase files,  OB?amFile and OB?phFile.
39       useOBCStides = .TRUE.
