<div>Qihua,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Could you be more specific about what kind of forcings that you wanted to generate? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ECCO v4r3’s <a href="ftp://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/Version4/Release3/input_forcing/">
forcing files</a> can be easily read using the Matlab toolbox <a href="http://wwwcvs.mitgcm.org/viewvc/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/gael/matlab_class/">
gcmfaces</a>. The <a href="http://wwwcvs.mitgcm.org/viewvc/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/gael/matlab_class/gcmfaces.pdf?revision=1.12&view=co">
user guide</a> of gcmfaces provides useful information about how to install and make use of the toolbox. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The directions of the forcings can be found in the <a href="ftp://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/Version4/Release3/doc/v4r3_overview.pdf">
overview document</a> of v4r3 (Table 5 in section 3.9). </div>

<div>Dear officer,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sorry to disturb you. Recently I run ECCO and I'd like to use the my own forcing field, I'd like to my own forcing data to fit for LLC90 grid. But I don't know how to generate this forcing files by myself. So could you please send me any matlab scripts
associated with generating the input forcing field?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As I know the wind stress has some special rules such as positive zonal wind stress indicates wind from east to west (which is opposite to our normal understanding). I was also wondering if there are any other special rules for the input forcing field.
Actually I didn't see these rules in the readme file. I'll be very grateful if anyone can send me some instruction files about these special rules.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks so much and happy new year!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
