lock_exchange_initialize_thickness()

subroutine, public lock_exchange_initialization::lock_exchange_initialize_thickness	(	real, dimension( g %isd: g %ied, g %jsd: g %jed, gv %ke), intent(out)	h,
		type(ocean_grid_type), intent(in)	G,
		type(verticalgrid_type), intent(in)	GV,
		type(param_file_type), intent(in)	param_file,
		logical, intent(in), optional	just_read_params
	)

This subroutine initializes layer thicknesses for the lock_exchange experiment.

Parameters

[in]	g	The ocean's grid structure.
[in]	gv	The ocean's vertical grid structure.
[out]	h	The thickness that is being initialized, in m.
[in]	param_file	A structure indicating the open file to parse for model parameter values.
[in]	just_read_params	If present and true, this call will only read parameters without changing h.
