Hello! I'm a PhD student from the Australian National University, and am using MOM6 OBCs a lot for my work.
When setting up OBCs for the first time there was a fairly steep learning curve. Together with a few other Australian collaborators, we've made a 'MOM6 regional domain generator' which aims to be as user friendly as possible, and minimise some of the annoying, hard to diagnose technical issues that tend to come up.

You can watch me give a demonstration of the package at an earlier stage of development here:
The idea was to keep it modular, and largely agnostic to the inputs that the user wants. For example, the two demo notebooks walk through how you'd force the ocean with reanalysis or model outputs which are on A and B grids respectively.
It's far from finished. In the future we'd like to add a lot more options for grid generation (Perhaps calling some of the functions from GitHub - ESMG/gridtools: A collection of grid generation tools. for example) and include tidal forcing (in a similar way to the NWA25 project nwa25/setup at main · jsimkins2/nwa25) among other things.
Most importantly though, we'd love to know:

Most importantly though, we'd love to know:
- Does the international MOM6 community see value in developing such a package? (Assuming we're not re-inventing the wheel of a package we're not aware of!)
- Would others like to collaborate?
