Turn off runoff in MOM6

COSIMA
1

Hi all,

Perhaps an obvious question, but I’d like to turn OFF river runoff. Very occasional spurious values are becoming an issue and I’ve almost convinced myself that runoff is not a dominant process in the regions I care about.

Is there are simple way to do this? The documentation is somewhat unclear here.

With a MOM6-SIS2 coupled run, you can zero-out the runoff field, i.e. change the line that looks like the following in the data_table:

"ICE", "runoff", "friver", "./INPUT/RYF.runoff_all.1990_1991.panan01_cropped.nc", "none", 1.0

to

"ICE", "runoff", "", "", "none", 0.0
