1.  summary:

This file contains an estimate of the tidal dissipation due 
to bottom drag and energy conversion into internal waves.  
The internal wave component is related to diapycnal mixing
in the deep ocean (see references below).
It has been interpolated onto the gx1v5b grid from the original .5degree x 
.5degree grid.

      tidal dissipation and conversion of tidal energy to internal 
      waves computed from a barotropic tidal model using a 
      parameterization for the internal wave energy conversion 
      (see reference below).

      ran /fis/cgd/oce/yeager/POP_tools/regrid < energy_gx1v5b_nml  in the
	this regridded the .5x.5 tidal energy data to gx1v5b 

      ran /fis01/cgd/oce/yeager/POP_grids/gx1v5b/nc2ieeer8.run to
	convert from netcdf to ieeer8

Hi Gokhan - the file is in:

/fis/cgd/oce/surje/GX1V3/energy_gx1v4.ieeer8

Let me know if you have any trouble getting to it and with
it.

Steve
