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 gx3v7 grid from the original .5degree x 
.5degree grid.

  8.  creation details:

      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/bates/POP_tools/regrid < energy_gx3v7_nml  
	this regridded the .5x.5 tidal energy data to gx3v7 

      ran /gpfs/fis01/cgd/oce/bates/ccsm_forcing/tidal_energy/nc2ieeer8.run to
	convert from netcdf to ieeer8
