lock_exchange_initialization subroutine, public subroutine, public lock_exchange_initialization::lock_exchange_initialize_thickness (h, G, GV, US, param_file, just_read_params) lock_exchange_initialize_thickness h h G G GV GV US US param_file param_file just_read_params just_read_params This subroutine initializes layer thicknesses for the lock_exchange experiment. g The ocean's grid structure. gv The ocean's vertical grid structure. us A dimensional unit scaling type h The thickness that is being initialized [H ~> m or kg m-2]. param_file A structure indicating the open file to parse for model parameter values. just_read_params If present and true, this call will only read parameters without changing h. mom_error_handler::mom_mesg mom_state_initialization::mom_initialize_state Initialization of the "lock exchange" experiment. lock_exchange = A 2-d density driven hydraulic exchange flow.
