It provides the 517 following information: $mbathy(i,j) = -n, \ n \in \left] 0,N \right]$, $T-$points are land points of the $n^{th}$ island ; $mbathy(i,j) =0$, $T-$points are land points of the main land (continent) ; $mbathy(i,j) =k$, the first $k$ $T$- and $w$-points are ocean points, the others land points. This is used to compute the island barotropic stream function used in rigid lid computation (see \S\ref{ LBC_isl}).517 following information: $mbathy(i,j) = -n, \ n \in \left] 0,N \right]$, $T-$points are land points of the $n^{th}$ island ; $mbathy(i,j) =0$, $T-$points are land points of the main land (continent) ; $mbathy(i,j) =k$, the first $k$ $T$- and $w$-points are ocean points, the others land points.

Note that the time stepping is generally performed in a one step 555 operation :it would be dangerous to let a prognostic variable evolve in time for each term successively.555 operation. With such a complex and nonlinear system of equations it would be dangerous to let a prognostic variable evolve in time for each term successively. 556 556 557 557 The three level scheme requires three arrays for the prognostic variables. For each variable $x$ there is $x_b$ (before) and $x_n$ (now). The third array, although referred to as $x_a$ (after) in the code, is usually not the variable $x_a$ at the next time step; rather, it is used to store the time derivative (RHS in \eqref{Eq_DOM_nxt}) prior to time-stepping the equation. Generally, the time stepping is performed once at each time step in \mdl{tranxt} and \mdl{dynnxt} modules, excepted for implicit vertical diffusion or sea surface height when time-splitting options are used. … … 621 621 \end{equation} 622 622 623 Equations \ref{Eq_DOM_nxt2} and \ref{Eq_DOM_nxt3} suggest several remarks. First the Asselin filter is definitively a second order time diffusive operator which is evaluated at centered time step. The magnitude of this diffusion is proportional to the time step (with $\gamma$ usually taken between $10^{-1}$ to $10^{-3}$) . Second, this term have to be taken into account in all budget of the equations (mass, heat content, salt content, kinetic energy...). Nevertheless, we stress here that it is small and does not systematic biases.
