  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 gx3v6 grid from the original .5degree x 
.5degree grid.
