SOPALE : User manual ©Bonny Lee and Mai Nguyen

(Suggestion-PF): The User manual decribes: input files, prepared examples, how to prepare and run a model, the structure of output files, and some postprocessing options.
It can be assembled with material from Bonny Lee and Mai Nguyen

The following should be replaced by suitable, or revised material and linked if necessary to PF's documentation :

Online documentation on inputs, written bu Bonny Lee, is available at http://geodynamics.oceanography.dal.ca/sopaledoc.html .
