Options for tidal forcing at open boundaries

The tidal data is processed in terms of tidal components, classified by period. The tidal forcing is computed for the full horizontal grid. If requested, the tidal forcing is added to the processed open boundary data. Both tidal elevation and tidal currents are required to force the model properly. However, if only the tidal elevation is available, the tidal

currents at the open boundary can be estimated by reduced physics. Only the pressure gradient, Coriolis, and surface and bottom stresses terms are considered at the open boundary. See u2dbc_im.F or v2dbc_im.F for details. Notice that there is an additional option (FSOBC_REDUCED) for the computation of the pressure gradient term in both Flather or reduced physics conditions (*_M2FLATHER, *_M2REDUCED).
