 #### Water temperature
-If `"online"` is used for `water`, the water temperature is derived from GHRSST Level 4 MUR product downloaded via NASA Earthdata. The SST at the nearest grid point will be used for water temperature. The day of the year is derived from `origin_time` in the configuration file. The location to take SST data depends on `centlat` and `centlon` in the namelist.

 Users can provide a prescribed water temperature using `water_temperature` in `[settings]` for each simulation domain or provide a spatial tif file with water temperature for water bodies.
