forcing structure

Forcing structure

The forcings are divided into domain. A domain can contain the following forcings type:

• Hydro+bathymmetry
• Meteo
• Wave

One domain can contains only one instance of each at the most. At least one forcing type must be defined.

The model contains an array of domain. They are ordered such as the model will always try to use the data contained at the start of the list, if not available (variable not defined or position outside of the domain), the model will look into the next one and so on.

The size of the domain is defined to contains all the netcdf files of the forcings type.This means that if a small forcing of wave is provided with a large forcing of meteo, the forcing of meteo will be "cut" to fit the wave.
