Horizontal variation in the initial conditions

Question

Hi Chris,

I used a horizontal initial file to set horizontal varying chlorophyll-a but I don´t know how these data are interpoled in vertical layers? Is the interpolation performed by IC_DIST_WEIGHTING=2.0?

Best,

Diana

Answer 1

Hi Diana,

Horizontal initial condition files are applied uniformly in the vertical. IC_DIST_WEIGHTING is for interpolation of multiple profile initial condition files
