The values 20-24 can also be set to a negative value to implement an arbitrary rotation of the geographic coordinates by ADCIRC. This is primarily used to ensure that Earth's poles are rotated onto land to eliminate the singularity in the Spherical coordinate form of the governing equations.

The value of ICS also has an important consequence for the choice of the Coriolis [[CORI]] parameter of the [[fort.15 file]].
