Fort.35: Level of No Motion Boundary Condition Input File

The Level of No Motion Boundary Condition Input File (fort.35) is used in 3D baroclinic simulations when the BCFLAG_LNM parameter is set to 1 in the fort.15 file. This file specifies elevation changes for ocean boundary nodes.

File Structure

The file format is as follows:

for i=1 to numberOfDataSets
    comment line (date)
    for k=1 to number_of_ocean_boundary_nodes
        k, elevation_change
    end k loop
end i loop

Notes

  • The elevation changes should be specified for all ocean boundary nodes

  • Each dataset should include a comment line with the date

  • The elevation changes are used to adjust the level of no motion boundary condition
