25.3.3 gaussian_kmt

This option constructs a field with a gaussian bump superimposed on a sloping ocean floor in a rectangular basin without geometry. The slope of the floor and scale of the bump can be set by modifying the USER INPUT section under the gaussian bump section in module topog.F. This option requires no data and is therefore highly portable. Results are interpolated to the resolution specified by module grids. Refer to Section 18.2 for more details.
