1-6 A6 SSTMOD - Introduces the application/
estimation of a sea surface topography
model which employs a number of functions
evaluated at several points located on
a uniform grid on the globe. The sea
surface topography height at a given
location is evaluated by interpolation
and represents the height from the geoid
to the mean sea surface. The user may
input the grid file either in IIS or in
IIE. For large grid files IIE input is
recommended.
7-8 I2 = 0 Function file input from IIE [2] 0 27,28
= 1 Function file input from IIS [3] 21
9-10 I2 Input file number for the Proudman
function SST coefficients. Recommended
units are 45-49
11-12 I2 Number of real variables on one record of
the above input file. Each record should
include all the coefficients that describe
one function in the following order:
constant term
periodic terms -
9912.0
GLOBAL SET
SSTMOD (cont)
13-14 I2 Internal geodyn number that describes the
function model
1 = constant term only
8 = periodic terms for one frequency
9 = periodic terms for two frequencies
10 = periodic terms for three frequencies
15-17 I3 Index for printing a coefficient report on
unit 6 of the GEODYN IIS output
=0 No report will be printed
=1 A coefficient report will be printed
25-44 D20.8 Period for model 8 (sec)
45-59 D15.3 Period for model 9 (sec)
60-72 F13.1 Period for model 10 (sec)
73-80 F8.1 Editing factor for boundary locations
editing. This must be a real number between
0.D0 and 1.D0.
NOTE [1]: This card must be followed by a number of SSTCOF cards which
represent the total number of functions evaluated per grid
point.
NOTE [2]: Files input from IIE:
Two files (units 27 and 28) must be brought into the directory
where GEODYN will execute. These files which are specific to the
machine on which they are used, represent the direct access
function file (27) and the matching grid file (28). See Vol. 5
Sect. 2.10 for a description of the files

See Vol. 5, Section 2.10 for description of the file.
IF CARD OMITTED: The above described Sea surface topography model will
not be applied.
