 == Boundary geometry and initialisation ==
 The internal code of the new module will use 1D unstructured arrays to specify the boundary as is currently done in BDY. For the T-points along the boundary these are '''nbit''', '''nbjt''' and '''nbrt''', which specify the (i,j) coordinates of each point and the discrete distance from the boundary. Each boundary set can be initialised using straight-line segments in '''obc_par.F90''' (ln_read=.false.) or read in from a '''coordinates_bdy.nc''' file (ln_read=.true.). If the boundary coordinates are read in from '''obc_par.F90''' then the '''nbi''', '''nbj''', '''nbr''' arrays will be generated internally (and if necessary a '''coordinates_bdy.nc''' file could be written out). 
+
+For the Flow Relaxation Scheme we require relaxation to external data within the model, not just at the boundary. The BDY module includes these points in the specification of the boundary arrays and uses '''nbr''' to tell the discrete distance from the model boundary. The obc_par.F90 specification only specifies the points along the edge of the model domain. If '''nn_rimwidth > 1''' the internal points will be added to the BDY-style arrays internally.
 
 The '''obc_par.F90''' file will be the easiest way to define rectangular boundaries. More than one segment can be specified for each of the north, east, south and west boundaries as follows. Where there are more than one boundary set, the '''jpieob'''-type arrays are specified as 1D arrays and the '''nobcsege'''-type arrays are used to split the numbers between the different boundary sets.
