polaris.ocean.model.OceanIOStep.add_forcing_input_file

OceanIOStep.add_forcing_input_file(**kwargs) → None

Add the surface-forcing input file using a placeholder that is resolved to the configured filename at process_inputs_and_outputs() time. Safe to call from __init__().

The file itself is written by polaris.ocean.model.OceanIOStep.write_forcing_dataset(), which gives it a Time dimension for MPAS-Ocean and none for Omega, so the two models read the same staged filename but not the same shape.

Parameters:

**kwargs – Additional keyword arguments forwarded to polaris.Step.add_input_file().
