Important: Changes to Bed Bottom Sediment Output Switches

[arango]

The bed bottom sediment output switches in ROMS ocean.in standard input:

! Logical switches (TRUE/FALSE) to activate writing of exposed sediment
! layer properties into HISTORY output file.  Currently, MBOTP properties
! are expected for the bottom boundary layer and/or sediment models:
!

! idBott( 2=idens)   grain_density           mean grain density
